At SmartLTC, We are ready to take care of our clients, the residents and patients they care about, and the community at large. As a result, we’ve built this resource page to help you stay up to date on the latest COVID-19 updates and receive helpful tips on reducing your risk. Additionally, various SmartLTC tools help with signs and symptoms of infection, particularly respiratory disease, and ways to manage and communicate status for residents showing these symptoms through the care team.

According to health officials, people who have recently traveled to areas with a high prevalence of COVID-19 pose the most significant risk of bringing the virus into facilities and communities that care for seniors. Those with whom they’ve met after being away for an extended period. That involves staff and visitors and short-stay residents in skilled facilities likely, represent a higher risk of introduction.

Here are three critical measures that provider communities should take to reduce their risk and exposure.

  • Keep in touch with National and Local Health Authorities for status reports and response guidance.
  • Practice vigilance concerning staff and visitors who represent the highest risk for the introduction.  National and local governments have released guidelines on screening tools and suggested visitor signage.
  • Increase vigilance around changes in condition for all residents/patients, mainly related to infection signs and symptoms and, more specifically, respiratory infection.

  • Stay Updated

    Since the COVID-19 situation is still fluid, we advise our customers to contact the national, state, and local agencies that regulate their respective areas.
