Important COVID-19 Information
At Duke HomeCare & Hospice, we're focused on the safety of you, your loved ones, and our team. Our COVID-19 policies and procedures minimize the spread of infection so we can provide excellent patient care.
Our extra precautions to keep everyone safe includes :
- Using personal protective equipment (PPE) to meet the clinical needs of any setting, which may include gloves, gowns, face masks, face shields, and/or booties
- Proper hand hygiene, wearing a face shield/mask to cover a sneeze or cough, maintaining safe distances, and sharing the importance of reducing visitors in your home.
- Using several screening questions for you and your loved ones when scheduling and prior to a visit to reduce risk and determine who may visit. Please know that it may mean you are asked the same questions multiple times.
- Exploring ways to meet your needs, including in-person visits, telephone support, and check-in calls. We can also connect for video visits on your computer or mobile device.
- Limiting the number of people during a visit to one person in addition to the patient in the room. This measure will also help to reduce the chance of any extra germs entering your house.
