Accurate Care Home Health During Covid-19

The home care industry has been made more complicated since COVID-19. While there was already a shortage of home care service providers before the outbreak, the demand for home assistance has significantly increased. While home health is critical, it did not get enough attention from the government. It was not until thousands of deaths started to be reported that revealed that older adults were at a higher risk of dying from the virus that nursing homes and home care services started to receive some attention.

Despite the reality of the Coronavirus pandemic, Accurate Care remains committed to offering home care services. According to theconversation.com, more than 5 million individuals receive home care in the United States of America. Can you imagine the challenge that poses for older patients and home care workers?

Since the coronavirus, elderly individuals and their families have been nervous about using home care. This is reasonable since the possibility of exposure can be relatively high by having home care service providers enter your home. It also poses a challenge for physical distancing. Activities such as bathing, grooming, and feeding are virtually impossible to do while maintaining physical distancing.

In response to this reality and to the fear of clients, Accurate Care has been ensuring that all the members of the team take extra safety precautions to minimize the risk of transmitting or contracting the disease. Here are some of the measures that are taken by the in-home caregiving service providers at Accurate Care:

• Team members wear personal protective equipment (PPE) where necessary
• Telehealth is now used in cases where it is feasible
