Coronavirus (COVID-19) Client Safety Precautions
At Help in the Home, the safety of our clients is our number one priority. At a minimum we are reassessing daily what precautions need to be put into place to keep our community safe. The following guidelines have been put in place until further notice.
While our Supported Living Community is not a Long- Term Care Facility or Group Home, our protocol will continue to be holding the community to the most vulnerable person.
We are encouraging the following ways of prevention to our clients both in the SLC and ISS:
Self- Care
Hygiene
Staff to wear a mask at all times when with clients.
ALL CLIENTS RECEIVING IN PERSON SUPPORT MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED
People are considered fully vaccinated for COVID-19 ≥2 weeks after they have received the second dose in a 2-dose series (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) or ≥2 weeks after they have received the single dose (Johnson & Johnson). PLUS The booster (5 months after the 2nd dose of Pfizer, 6 months after the 2nd dose of Moderna, and 2 months after the single dose of Johnson & Johnson).
Supported Living Community:
On-site COVID testing:
All members of the supported living community (both clients and staff) will have a rapid COVID test performed on Tuesdays (this is only once a week).
General Supported Living Community Clients:
Outings:
When going out in public, clients and staff need to wear a mask, since we are not sure who is vaccinated. When outings are with anyone other than staff, we are asking that friends/family members complete our COVID screening questionnaire and do not visit if anyone is not feeling well. We are not testing friends and family who visit, but they do need to complete our COVID questionnaires.
Visits outside of the Supported Living Community:
Family Visits at the SLC: Allowed only when client and family member is fully vaccinated
Transition house clients:
Individual Support Service Clients:
PPE is provided by Help in the Home- please contact the Administrative Assistant in order to make sure you have adequate PPE for your appointments (and remember to leave time for supplies to be mailed to you if needed).
