Nursing Home Questions during This Pandemic

4/16/2020

3 Comments

 
Thank you to AARP for putting together this list of questions to ask if your loved one is in a nursing home.
 
It was 30+ years ago when I decided to open a service designed for those who wanted to remain at home rather than spend the last part of their lives living with others facing a similar fate.
 
It was to this end that Christel’s Home Care Agency began helping seniors and their families in the mid 1980’s.  Our mission was, and still is, to provide an alternative to institutional settings.
 
We remain open and ready to help during this pandemic.   Give us a call.  Caregivers are waiting and looking forward to helping provide a safe home environment conducive to maintaining as much independence and quality of life possible.
 
Be Well!
Chris Christel, Owner
1.    Has anyone in the nursing home tested positive for COVID-19?
  • This includes residents, staff, vendors & visitors. 
2.    What is the nursing home doing to prevent infections?
  • How are nursing home staff being screened for COVID-19, especially when they leave and re-enter the facility?
  • What precautions are in place for residents who are not in private rooms?
 3.    Does the nursing home staff have the personal protective equipment (PPE) such as  masks, face shields, & gowns that they need to stay safe, and keep their patients safe?
  • Have nursing home staff been given specific training on how to use this personal protective equipment?
  • If needed, what's the plan to obtain personal protective equipment?

Read the rest of the FAQ on AARP's website.
