Territory: the entirety of Vermont, 89 corridor of NH and Concord NH areas
We have the PPE/staff training to care for COVID+ clients
No reduction in visits or changes to visit method (visits will remain in person)
The only exception is if a client lives in a nursing facility where visits are restricted.
- If a facility is now allowing social work or spiritual care to visit, those visits will be via telephone or virtual (client/family preference)
In a client who is older than age 85 and tests positive for COVID, that can qualify them for hospice
- Should these client’s goals of care align with the hospice philosophy (comfort focused and not wishing to go to a hospital) they can be admitted to hospice
- Should they improve and no longer need services, they can be discharged once stable
