COVID-19 Guidance for Consumers with Personal Care Attendants & For Personal Care Attendants
Physical distancing is a critical practice for everyone during the COVID-19 response and whenever the virus is active in a community. However, many consumers rely on providers who come to our homes to support our health and other activities of daily living. Delivering those services, especially for people who may be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19, is necessary, even though it makes physical distancing difficult.
Please review Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment’s tip sheet for Personal Care Attendants, for people who use Personal Care Attendants, Colorado’s guidance for wearing masks, and CDC’s cleaning recommendations to make sure you and your Personal Care Attendant stay safe.
