Care at home – reducing risks of COVID-19 with visiting care
Recent news has highlighted the risks of COVID-19 spreading within a care home setting, despite the very best efforts of their care staff working tirelessly to keep them safe and well.
The latest figures show COVID-19 deaths have exceeded 30,000 across the UK, which was described as a “massive tragedy” by Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab. This means 1/4 of COVID-19 deaths have supposedly taken place in care homes.
We have noted that live-in care at Trinity Homecare is a far safer alternative, whilst relieving the burden on the NHS. Visiting care is also a far safer form of care that allows flexibility, as well as consistency.
Visiting Care during COVID-19
Trinity Homecare’s visiting care service is a safe alternative to a care home, at a time when the risks of cross-transmission within care and nursing homes are becoming a great concern. At Trinity Homecare, we are actively reducing the number of care workers that visit a client and are ensuring that full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is used at all times. This mitigates these risks, whilst ensuring the safety of both our clients and care workers.
