As the surge of COVID-19 infections continues to rise, please take every precaution when caring for patients. VNA’s patient care guidelines are based on risk level definitions, for your safety and the safety of your family, JNESO believes all patients must be treated as medium risk.
JNESO reminds you to wear properly fit-tested N95 masks, eye protection, and face shields at all times when in patients' homes. Management has said they have N95s available, so if you need them, please make arrangements to pick them up from the Holmdel office.
Members should adhere to the agency’s policies to protect their co-workers and families. Remind patients, and those in the home during the visit, that they must wear a mask or face covering to ensure the safety of all involved. If patients, family members, or caregivers do not wear face coverings, step away and contact your supervisor immediately for guidance.
If you have additional questions or concerns, contact a Local Officer or your Labor Rep. Meredith Larson.
