How are you protecting residents and patients at Allied Services facilities?
As the region’s leading provider of healthcare and human services
for individuals with disabilities, life-changing injuries and chronic
illness, Allied Services is always ready to provide the highest quality
care for our patients and residents. Ensuring the health and safety of
our patients, residents and staff is our first priority; therefore, Allied
Services is exercising every precaution to protect against coronavirus/COVID-19.
- We continue to follow guidance from the Pennsylvania Department of Health
and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Our infectious control
and incident preparedness experts are closely monitoring developments
and coordinating with national and local health authorities. Teams across
Allied Services meet regularly to coordinate our response to the crisis
including staff trained in infection control, supply chain management,
human resources, and facilities management.
- As providers of inpatient and long-term care, Allied Services is held to
a very high safety standard when it comes to cleaning and disinfecting
patient rooms, common areas and high touch surfaces. Under the guidance
of the CDC and PA Department of Health, our environmental control teams
have enhanced their routine cleaning procedures.
- Preventative measures to protect residents, patients and staff include
the screening of all employees working at our facilities; changes to patient
care and daily activities to ensure greater social distancing; enhanced
daily monitoring of patient health and well-being; adherence to CDC guidelines
for personal protective equipment and infection control which includes
proper gowning, masking and more.
- We continue to follow Department of Health guideliness on visitation policy,
and are communicating directly with families of patients and residents
about the most current visitation policies. Visits to our Hospice Center
are limited to immediate family only and all visitors are screened prior
to entering the facility. See our current visitor policy.
