Infection control is of high priority at NorthShore Home Care. We will continue to monitor our staff and clients diligently.

What We're Doing:

• We mandated the vaccine across our organization. All care staff and office personnel are vaccinated.

• We introduced rigorous additional cleaning procedures in clients homes as well as client reminders for proper hand washing techniques

• We have reviewed existing infection control policies with our staff

• All staff and clients are screened for COVID-19 daily.

• All staff have received COVID-19 training and an exam on the materials

• We require medical grade masks for all NorthShore staff.

• We have distributed more hand sanitizers and shoe covers to staff

• On each shift upon clock in caregivers, this message will pop up in our EMR:

“If you or your clients are experiencing any fever, cough, or flu-like symptoms, please contact your office immediately. Please also be extra careful by washing your hands for 30 seconds with soap at arrival and frequently throughout your shifts.”

Our top priority is keeping every client and staff member safe. We ask that everyone report to us if you have been ill, have or have recently had a fever or currently have a cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, headache, body aches or chills, come in contact with someone who is ill, traveled outside the U.S.


Sincerely,

Melody Lynch, CEO
