NON-MEDICAL IN-HOME CARE IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA

We know that our caregivers and clients are all being impacted significantly by the current coronavirus situation. Our greatest concern is to be able to provide essential care for our clients with significant needs. To do this, we must keep in mind the health and safety of our staff and clients.

We are monitoring the CDC website and sending updates and reminders to our caregivers as the situation changes. We are focusing on facts and knowledge rather than panic and overreaction.

Our staff has been trained in infection control. We send reminders to use personal protective equipment such as gloves and to wash their own and their client's hands at every opportunity. Our professionals clean and disinfect areas in their homes, vehicles, and all areas in a client's home. Excellent hygiene is the key to preventing all infectious diseases.

Additionally, staff are being reminded to limit travel and monitor health following and instructed not to work ill under any circumstances.

Due to Arizona school closures, we are looking for alternative child care arrangements for staff with children of school age to help us ensure continuity of care.

Staff is encouraged, and we encourage our clients to allow us to help by ordering groceries for pickup or delivery instead of having clients and caregivers visit stores.

Please contact us if you have any questions or ideas about how we can continue to think globally to keep our communities healthy.
