​

HomeCourt Home Care caregivers have been instructed to conduct self-screening for COVID-19 symptoms prior to reporting to work. Caregivers experiencing symptoms or who are living with a sick household member must refrain from reporting to work and must follow the proper isolation and testing requirements before returning to work.

​

All caregivers have been directed to follow enhanced prevention procedures, including but not limited to: 

• Properly using PPE (face masks when applicable, gloves)

• Avoid touching public areas with your hands whenever possible, including such things as doorknobs, elevator buttons, restroom surfaces, restaurant menus and tables, public computer keyboards, etc.

• Avoid touching their eyes, nose, or mouth.

• Wash their hands often with soap and water frequently, for at least 20 seconds.

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Cover their cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash and wash hands.

• Clean and disinfect all touched surfaces and objects frequently using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.

• Avoid crowds, especially in poor ventilated spaces. Your risk of exposure to respiratory viruses like COVID-19 may increase in crowded, closed-in settings with little air circulation if there are people in the crowd who are ill.

• Avoid all non-essential travel including planned trips, and especially cruise ships.

• Consider vaccination and applicable boosters as soon as possible.

​

We require that any employees living with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 quarantine for the appropriate amount of time or be tested to ensure everyone's safety.
