Homecare Solutions is actively monitoring the progression of the coronavirus, COVID-19, to ensure that we have the most accurate and latest information on the threat of the virus. This situation continues to develop rapidly as new cases are identified in our communities, and our protocols will be adjusted as needed. Our priority is to ensure our carers and clients are in a safe and healthy environment.
While most cases of COVID-19 are mild, causing only fever and cough, a very small percentage of cases become severe and may progress, particularly in the elderly and people with underlying medical conditions. Since this is the primary population that Homecare Solutions serves, we understand your concerns and want to share how we respond to the threat of COVID-19.
We meet regularly and coordinate the most appropriate protocols and practical considerations based on the best available evidence and guidance from national bodies. We will continue to deliver the highest quality of care and service to our clients and their families, treating them with dignity, respect and compassion in line with our mission. We will also continue to work with our staff to support and protect them as they undertake the vital roles of providing direct care and support services to our clients. We will continue to communicate any updated information we receive with our care staff/ clients and their families.
These actions are designed to help keep you healthy, reduce exposures to COVID-19, and slow the spread of the disease.
