Monitoring Your Client for Emergency Signs

Older people and people with underlying medical conditions are at a higher risk for developing more serious symptoms. If your client’s condition changes, notify the office immediately.

***If you are caring for a client with COVID-19, your focus should be monitoring your client for emergency signs, preventing the spread of germs, and .

Preventing the Spread of Germs When Caring for Someone Who is Sick

  • Have the person stay in one room away from other people as much as possible
  • While it will be necessary to be close to the client when performing personal care, for the remainder of your visit, try to stay at least 6 feet away from the client and other household members
  • Avoid sharing personal household items like dishes, towels or bedding
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
  • Clean all surfaces that are touched often such as counters, tables and doorknobs frequently using household cleaning sprays

Protecting Yourself

  • Wash Your Hands often with warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds

  • Wear a Mask when caring for the client.
  • 1. If the client has tested positive for COVID-19, you should wear a K95 mask (only wear this mask during direct care for this client; do not wear it elsewhere for any reason)
    2. Carefully follow the instructions for putting on, removing and storing your mask

  • Wear Gloves as you normally would when providing personal care

  • 1. When removing gloves, be careful not to touch the outer part of the gloves with bare hands
    2. Always wash your hands thoroughly after removing gloves

  • Wear a Gown if you have been provided with one – it should be worn whenever you’re performing personal care. Carefully follow the provided instructions.
