We know many of our families are concerned about the health and wellness of their children regarding the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and influenza. The health, safety and well-being of our patients and staff has always been of the utmost importance to us. We would like to share our policies to ensure clean, healthy and safe experiences while receiving services from Building Blocks.
We will continue one-on-one services in the homes and daycares with the following precautions:
1. Cleaning: any equipment brought in by a therapist will be cleaned and disinfected prior to entering the home and after
2. Illnesses: We have asked all staff to stay home if they are not feeling well or have any symptoms as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We ask that all clients and their families (anyone living in the home) follow this same protocol and contact the appropriate therapist to cancel therapy if feeling ill. (Persistent or wet cough, body aches, fever, etc)
3. Prevention: We require all therapists, patients and families to be diligent with hand washing. Therapists will wash hands upon entering and exiting homes. They will have their usual hand sanitizer when soap and water are not readily available.
We continue to closely monitor any recommendations from both the Board of Health as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and will update staff and families as necessary.
