Infection Control: Best Practices for Community Staff
Maintaining hygiene and safety when moving between participant homes and healthcare facilities.
Staying Safe on the Go
Community care workers are constant travelers, moving between multiple homes every day. This makes high-level infection control critical.
Hand Hygiene is Number One
Use alcohol-based hand rub before and after every participant contact. It's the most effective way to stop the spread of germs.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Know when to wear gloves, masks, and aprons. PPE should be changed between every home visit to avoid cross-contamination.
Regular training on the latest health guidelines keeps you and your participants safe.
