COVID-19 changed the world and how things were done. This includes caregiving services which are essential to any seniors.
Finding COVID-19 caregivers has proven to be difficult for some as the fear of the unknown caused social isolation all across the country and the world. We were left with only essential businesses open and some caregiving services do fall under essential businesses.
Tracking And Prevention
Davetta Care has been able to offer COVID-19 caregivers during the pandemic by requiring additional precautions to be taken into account. The first is requiring employees to complete daily health screenings prior to clocking in for their daily shifts. We also have a COVID-19 specialist who keeps track of these health screenings.
Throughout the pandemic, we also closed our facilities to the public and anyone entering the building is required to have their temperature taken and complete a questionnaire. We have been keeping track of everyone’s well-being in order to prevent the spread.
Protective Equipment
In order to keep our COVID-19 caregivers safe, at Davetta Care, we also offer and provide free protective equipment. We provide gloves and masks to not only our caregivers but also our clients and administrative staff. As a client, you can call us to obtain your free protective equipment.
The elderly population must take extra precautions and although vaccines are now available, not everyone has access to them.
Life-Sustaining Employees
As an essential service, we have continued to hire front-line workers. Davetta Care also offers overtime positions to minimize the number of staff entering client homes.
It is important to us to maintain the best practices possible to keep you safe. We have attempted to minimize the number of people that enter client homes to keep bubbles as small as possible. In some cases, our COVID-19 caregivers are the only ones who enter the seniors’ home. This service may become crucial to their survival and their health.
Finding a Caregiver
Finding the right caregiver during COVID-19 has proven difficult as some agencies and resources have shut down or have stated they would not take on new clients.
Davetta Care actually cares for the wellbeing of old and new clients.
Although the process has changed slightly with in-person consultations being limited or entirely removed there is a workaround. Some of these workarounds include virtual or telemedicine visits and consultations. This is not the most ideal option when choosing any kind of service but we make it as comfortable as possible. After all, you are entrusting us with your loved one during a difficult time.
