- Temperature will be checked 3 times a day (upon entrance, at lunch, upon leaving for the day) and documented for both staff and individuals served. The person screening will be required to wear gloves and a mask during this process. Screening is to be completed in privacy as much as possible. At this same time a COVID questionnaire will need to be completed that shows all the positive results. If someone would refuse to allow staff to complete the screening - they will be turned away immediately without the ability to gain access to our facility. Masks will need to be present with each person and documented upon entry. No mask – no entry
- Social distancing measures will be maintained as best as we can by adding additional square footage for programming and opening more locations for individuals to enjoy breaks and lunch
- Handwashing will continue to be added into programming throughout the day as well as during breaks and lunch. Additional portable hand washing stations have been purchased and will be placed in areas where distance to water might cause someone to not wash as often.
- Face masks must be worn while in the building
- Visitors to our building will be restricted to only essential day-to-day personnel and anyone needed to maintain the safety of the facility. All visitors must sign in and out and have a temp check before proceeding. Anyone that is not considered essential but feels they need to gain access to the building will need to be pre-approved by the CEO and this will be EXTREMELY limited.
- All food will need to be brought in ready to eat (already prepared and cut into proper portions) in disposable packaging (ex. Sandwich in zip lock bag and lunch in brown paper bag) – NO MICROWAVES and REFRIGERATORS WILL BE AVAILABLE UNTIL AT THE EARLIEST 9/8/20
- Staff will be trained on everything from hand washing to social distancing and tons of things in between.
- If someone would develop symptoms of COVID-19 during programming hours; individuals served- will be isolated in the med room until a ride home can be found (cleaning in the areas of their workstation/restrooms would immediately happen), staff – sent home immediately (cleaning in the areas of their workstation/restrooms would immediately happen)
- Staff will continue to sanitize high touch surfaces throughout the day along with our overnight janitorial staff deep cleaning following EPA guidelines, after hours to be able to use hospital grade chemicals to clean our facility.
- Signage will be posted at all points of entry to review guidelines in preparation for entrance in to the building.
- ASI will hold the right to shelter in place again in the future if the case numbers increase to what is deemed unsafe levels.
NO date to re-open has been confirmed. We will reopen in phases in order to maintain the health, safety, and welfare of the individuals we serve, our staff, and their families!
Each family will receive a phone call from the QIDP and they will review our safety plan, answer a series of questions and based on the answers, a return date will be assigned. That return date could change based on information gathered during the wait period.
Please be patient while we work to make calls to all families. This is a marathon, not a sprint so we will work to do this slow and methodical so as not to put anyone in jeopardy.
