When they call you to arrange your next delivery or nurse visit, it is important to tell your homecare provider customer services If you or someone in your household has coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms has had a positive test Coronavirus (COVID – 19) has been advised to self-isolate is extremely vulnerable and is being shielded from Coronavirus (COVID – 19) for reasons other than their homecare therapy. If you need information on the type of symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID – 19) and who would fall into the extremely vulnerable group, you can access this via https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/ Social Distancing Routine homecare medicine deliveries continue as normal, but we will be implementing “social distancing” so you will not be asked to sign for your delivery and the driver may appear more distant than usual as they will be avoiding direct physical contact with you. The delivery driver will not come into your home unless it has been pre-arranged with your homecare provider customer services and it is really necessary (e.g. if you are unable to physically carry a heavy parcel). During the call to arrange your next delivery or nurse visit, your homecare provider will tell you if there are any changes being made to ensure your homecare service can be delivered to you whilst keeping you, homecare staff and other homecare patients safe.
