Home Instead has taken a wide range of measures aimed at protecting its clients, staff and CAREGivers, in the face of Covid-19.
In the past couple of weeks, we have been in constant communication with the Health Service Executive (HSE) and Home & Community Care Ireland (HCCI), and we have proactively acted upon their advice.
Our National Office has postponed all non-essential events, meetings and travel.
We have been in constant communication with all of our local offices, who have adapted work practices and facilitated remote work where possible, in order to continue to deliver care to our clients.
Our local offices have contacted all clients and their families, to reassure them at this difficult time and to inform them of the measures Home Instead has taken to ensure their safety. You can read this communication here
Our local offices have also contacted all CAREGivers and supplied them with a new additional training programme on COVID-19 through the Home Instead Academy.
We will continue to monitor the situation as it develops and take every action deemed necessary to protect the health of all of our clients, staff and CAREGivers and indeed the public at large.
