Introduction
Welcome to Anointed and Blessed Home Health Care, where we put the health and well-being of our residents as our top priority. In this article, we will explore the reactions of our residents to the actions taken by our team during the COVID-19 pandemic. We understand the importance of keeping our residents informed and safe, and have implemented policy modifications to ensure their well-being.
Policy Modifications for Resident Safety
At Anointed and Blessed Home Health Care, we believe in taking proactive measures to protect our residents during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Our policy modifications are aimed at reducing the risk of exposure and ensuring the highest level of safety for our residents.
Infection Control Protocol
One of the key modifications we have implemented is an enhanced infection control protocol. This includes regular sanitization of all high-touch surfaces, provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) to staff members, and strict adherence to hand hygiene practices. By maintaining a clean and hygienic environment, we can minimize the chances of virus transmission within our facility.
Visitor Restrictions
To limit the potential spread of COVID-19, we have temporarily restricted visitations to our facility. While we understand the importance of maintaining social connections, the safety of our residents remains paramount. We have facilitated alternative means of communication, such as virtual visits and phone calls, to ensure that our residents can stay connected with their loved ones while minimizing the risk of exposure.
Staff Training and Education
Our team members have undergone rigorous training and education regarding COVID-19, its symptoms, and precautionary measures. This ensures that our staff is well-equipped to identify potential signs of infection and take appropriate action promptly. Regular updates and refresher courses are provided to ensure everyone is up to date with the latest guidelines from health authorities.
Residents' Reactions and Feedback
