Millennial Homecare is continuously monitoring the progress of Covid-19 (CoronaVirus), in order to provide the best care for you. This virus is affecting our homes but also our communities, to ensure confidence, Millennial teams are updated daily with the latest news and following the Central of Disease Control (CDC) guidelines.

• As a standard practice, we have an emergency preparedness plan in place that evolves as COVID-19 does.

• All caregivers follow established protocol regarding staying home when sick. This practice is not new to our staff.

• Communication with caregivers to assess any known risk factors, contact in areas known to have reported cases is ongoing. We will advise staff not to report to work if they are deemed high-risk.

•  We believe that home remains the safest place for you or your loved one, as indications show that the virus is spread more quickly in facilities and larger group or public settings. Possible exposure will remain the lowest for those who are able to stay in their homes with limited outside contact. For this reason, we feel fortunate to be able to provide care that can keep people at home or limited exposure in group settings through personalized care.

• For clients we serve who reside in facilities , we will work closely with the facility on any protocols, exchange of information, or other guidelines as necessary.

• Many of our clients are especially at risk, given they are older adults or have underlying health issues. We are vigilant about our need to help protect these individuals from illness be it the flu, COVID-19, or any other communicable disease. These measures are not new to us as we seek to minimize risk regularly for our clients, regardless of an outbreak such as this new coronavirus.

Contingency Planning for You or Your Loved One

• Depending on the severity of the spread of illness in communities or the response taken by national and state authorities (ex. mandatory isolation, closure of schools, etc.), our staffing levels may be affected. As a result, we may be unable to cover all shifts.

• We will make every effort possible to provide our clients with safe and appropriate care and seek to avoid canceling shifts, however, we cannot guarantee this will not occur given the uncertainties about this situation.

• At all times, regardless of a viral outbreak or other situation, we strongly recommend that our clients have alternative arrangements for the provisions of care in the event we are unable to provide services. We encourage you to begin considering and putting into place back-up plans now, as the severity of the spread of this illness and planned interventions is still uncertain.

 

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. I want to assure you that we are following all the necessary protocol to protect our clients and your loved one. I will continue to update you as more information becomes available.

 

Sincerely,

 

Millennial Home Care Leadership Team
