Duke HomeCare & Hospice

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 include:

• Using personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, gowns, face masks, face shields, and/or booties in clinical settings.
• Maintaining 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.
• We ask you and your loved ones several screening questions 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.
