Covid-19 My Kemkare Statement 10.06.20
With the recent developing situation around COVID-19 as a Homecare provider we want to give you the reassurances that we are doing everything possible to continue to deliver quality care to the people who need it within the community. We strive to make the service as safe as possible and will continue to communicate any additional changes or measures should we need to take them.
Care and Support
We are monitoring this daily as we expect to see increasing demands to our services. We work closely with our carers and office staff to ensure safe practices. We are working closely with all local authorities and we are constantly taking advice from the Government websites for all the latest updates. We review our staff training and recruitment methods to support an increase in demand that may arise, ensuring that our services are continuous.
​
Infection Prevention Control Measures
As always, our care staff will be following a robust hand washing technique using an alcohol based sanitiser or soap and water. This routine is used throughout the year to ensure our staff and service users are kept safe and risk of cross contamination or transmissions are kept to a minimal.
Personal Protective Equipment
Our care staff will always ensure everyone’s safety is paramount and wear fluid repellent face masks( only when necessary) and use aprons and disposable gloves. Our staff are trained regularly on how to put them on, take them off and dispose of them safely.
​
Our office
Our office remain open and fully functioning. We carry out regular risk assessment of the situation in line with Health and Safety Standards. Following recent Government guidance from DHSC/CQC we have paused daily LFT testing but continue to monitor especially where individuals may develop symptoms. We encourage our staff to be compliant with the Vaccination uptake.
Our office staff and fields care coordinators are available 24 hours and you will have been provided with all contact details.
We are closely monitoring situation to make sure we are taking all precautions necessary to keep our workforce and service users safe and that their needs are still met.
Our aim at this time is to continue in the ‘New Normal’ and to keep everyone safe.
​
Thank you for your continued support.
