Our caregivers use standard infection control principles, including universal precautions as directed by the CDC. PPE (personal protective equipment) such as gloves and masks will be supplied to caregivers by Aloma. In addition, all caregivers must complete a pre-screen prior to every shift. If fever or illness is indicated, the caregiver is prohibited from electronically clocking into the SmartCare portal. Once administrators and care supervisors are contacted, you will also be made aware. Aloma follows CDC guidelines and protocols, so caregivers are quarantined and documented days off are observed in accordance. If a caregiver is unavailable due to illness and an alternate is not available, families may have to provide interim care.
