COVID-19
At Mimo Home Care we closely monitor the impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and follow the guidelines by Ministry of Health Ontario
PROTOCOL
Covid screening All of our PSWs do a Covid self-screening prior to each shift with clients. Pre-screening is a useful tool as an assurance that they are healthy and fit to visit their clients.
Covid test Each PSW has to do a Covid test prior to start of their first shift. Covid test will also be done if the answer to any of the self screening questions is positive. The PSW will be replaced with another care giver until the test result is back.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) All of out PSWs are provided with gloves, face masks, face shields and gowns. They are required to wear full PPE during their shifts to reduce the risk of transmission as much as possible.
Training Our PSWs are required to follow the guidelines provided by Ministry of Health Ontario.
Some of the important education materials that we encourage our clients and our PSW to follow are:
Exposure Protocol In order to reduce the risk of transmission of Covid19 we require our PSWs to solely work with in-home clients and not in any long term care homes, residential homes or hospitals.
