Let Comfort Keepers Support Your Family With Quarantine Support in Vancouver, BC, and Surrounding Areas
Among the many challenges families need to face in the era of COVID-19, is the prospect of quarantining. In fact, the government requires all seniors moving into a new facility to undergo 14 days of quarantine in order to protect themselves and others from the spread of the virus. If you have a loved facing this prospect, know that you are not alone. Comfort Keepers of Vancouver can assist your loved one with the help they need during their two weeks of quarantine. For more information, contact us at 604-689-8609.
Providing Protection from Isolation
During quarantine, an elderly person not only has to avoid the coronavirus, but they need to protect themselves from the feelings of loneliness and isolation that often accompany the quarantine process. Our expert caregivers are aware of the threat of isolation and are trained to find ways to mitigate its effects by keeping your loved one engaged with fun activities and lively conversation to make the time pass in a quicker and more pleasant manner.
During quarantine, safety is of the utmost importance. Some of the strict protocols our caregivers follow include:
- Meticulous use of all PPE such as masks and gloves.
- Careful adherence to hygiene procedures as directed by the PHAC. This includes regular hand washing, careful waste disposal, and the thorough sanitization of all surfaces with hospital-quality disinfectants.
- Remaining home if the caregiver notices even a hint of sickness.
- Steering clear of anyone who has tested positive for the virus to make sure your loved is as protected as possible.
- Learning how to detect virus symptoms and taking immediate precautions if necessary.
