CHHCP COVID-19 Protocols

COVID-19 is not visible to the natural eyes, each day someone has died from this devastating virus. COVID-19 cares about no one. Our team at Clarke’s Helping Hand Care Providers is committed to following guidelines and best practices from both the Ministry of Health in Barbados and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Our team is committed to meeting these protocols, and maintaining safe surroundings, and decreasing any possibilities of exposure to residents and our team. Our seniors and those with underlining medical conditions are said to be high risk according to the CDC; for serious illness from COVID-19. And our health is vital, and we have your loved one’s best interest at heart; due to this deadly virus, and its variant. We have executed the following policies and measures to protect and prevent the spread of COVID–19 while caring for your loved ones in their own homes.
