Have you been thinking about getting into the medical field? Have you been working in the service industry and been pushed out by COVID issues? Home care is a safe alternative to working in the service of others. Our clients spend most of their time at home and are not exposed to viruses as much as the general public.
Home Health Care
We have a wide array of clients that you could help as they age in place. Some are only looking for companionship and light housekeeping. If you want to be more medical in your approach, we have clients that may need additional resources including personal care, private duty nursing, and other help.
There are a number of ways that Comfort Keepers caregivers are helping seniors stay safe at home, including:
- Providing respite care for family members
- Shopping for groceries and running errands
- Companionship to combat social isolation
- Assistance with technology to connect with loved ones
- Help cleaning and to disinfect their home
- Personal care to assist those with more advanced care needs
Safety in Home Care
We understand that this is a difficult time, and we are proud to be providing these essential services to older adults, Veterans and their families. Every client receives an individualized care plan that details their specific needs, and we can customize our services accordingly. Our Caregivers and their support team are fantastic at keeping themselves and our clients as safe as possible during these difficult times.
For this reason, we want to share with you how our organization is responding to the threat of COVID-19:
- We are following updates and procedures from the CDC, the State Department of Health, local and county authorities, the Home Care Association of America, and other agencies and resources.
- Our staff is trained in infectious disease control.
- It is our recommended protocol that all caregivers wear masks and additional PPE as needed
- Our staff follows hygiene procedures directed by the CDC, including vigorous and frequent hand-washing with soap and water, use of sanitizing gels (with 70% alcohol level or higher), use of disinfectant wipes to frequently wipe down surfaces, proper coughing and sneezing techniques, disposal of any items that may have virus or bacteria, and much more.
- If any of our staff or their clients should show signs of COVID-19, we will report, isolate, and quarantine, as necessary, abiding by national and local guidelines.
We are watchful of how we are handling the current crisis. We are especially concerned that our caregivers and staff are safe and healthy throughout these difficult times.
