Before each care visit, we confirm that caregivers and clients comply with the current CDC guidance for safety, including being free of COVID-19 symptoms and free from high-risk COVID-19 exposures. This allows Awesome Home Care to work together with families, seniors, and caregivers to create the safest possible care environment. If any of our caregivers or their clients should show signs or symptoms of COVID-19, we will report and abide by national and local guidelines.
2. Our caregivers must follow our established protocol to stay home if they are ill for any reason.
3. Our caregivers are trained in best practices for infection prevention and control.
4. Our caregivers must wear a face mask when in the home and within six feet of a client.
5. Our caregivers follow hygiene procedures as directed by the CDC, including vigorous and frequent handwashing with soap and water, the routine use of hand sanitizer (with 70% alcohol level or higher), and proper coughing and sneezing techniques.

Caregiver testing requirements for COVID-19 vary by state; it’s best to check with your local office for updates. Awesome Comfort Home Care has implemented safety measures for the safety of both our clients and caregivers, regardless of a state’s testing requirements, all caregivers, and clients are screened daily for symptoms of COVID-19 and recent exposure to a person suspected or confirmed of having COVID-19. Quarantining, and testing are conducted according to the guidelines of the local health authorities. Personal protection such as masks can prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Care providers are required to wear masks, and we encourage our clients and anyone else in the home to wear a face-covering when within six feet of their caregiver.

It’s important to remember that testing only represents a moment in time. Our best method of preventing infection is the consistent wearing of PPE, performing hand hygiene, and the daily symptom and exposure monitoring.
