Employees are required to perform screening for COVID-19 prior to any contact with a client. This screening for COVID-19 consists of a series of questions to determine a person's risk for COVID-19. They include questions about symptoms, travel history in recent weeks, and exposure to someone who has been confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19. Personnel who exhibit symptoms or who are at risk for infection are removed from client assignments. We will not place any caregiver with a client for a minimum of 10 days or until cleared by a medical provider if the caregiver has symptoms, has been exposed to or worked in a facility where COVID- 19 is present, or traveled to a location on the CDC advisory list in the past two months.
Caring Senior Service locations have established a reliable source of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). PPE is required when personnel is working with clients. Employees also use standard infection control precautions, such as handwashing, cleaning, and disinfecting, as well as the use of gloves, masks, and gowns when appropriate.
