Healthpoint Expertise: Infection Control at Home

Infection can harm health by causing illness, inflammation, and tissue damage, and when its signs are left unattended, it may lead to hospitalizations and complications. This is why we, Healthpoint Homecare Services LLC, take infection control seriously. Our dedication to providing exceptional home health care services includes implementing stringent infection control practices. 

One of the most fundamental infection control practices is thorough hand hygiene. Our healthcare professionals practice regular handwashing techniques and make sure that this seemingly simple step is never forgotten, be it in providing basic assistance or during medical procedures, like wound care. Clean hands reduce the risk of cross-contamination and the spread of infections in the home.

For those requiring post-surgical care, we can expertly assist patients and help them prevent infections. As skilled professionals, we are trained to dress wounds, manage drains, and follow strict protocols to ensure wound hygiene and minimize the risk of complications.

When providing home care services in Massachusetts, we also maintain sterile equipment and supplies for various procedures. This includes the use of clean gloves, disinfection of medical equipment, and proper disposal of contaminated items and supplies. We also educate both care providers and clients about infection control.

Infection control practices involve attentive monitoring of clients’ health, especially elder care recipients. If any signs of infection are detected, we promptly report it and take necessary actions, including communication with clients’ respective healthcare professionals.

We are committed to providing healthcare at home that prioritizes our clients’ safety and peace of mind. Infection control practices are at the forefront of our care, to make sure we not only promote recovery but also prevent the onset of health concerns as much as we can.
