Home and Community Services (HCS) is resuming in person client visiting for long-term care Medicaid assessing and care planning beginning April 15, 2022. HCS staff are screened by self-attestation prior to conducting an in-person case management appointment. You may ask the COVID screening questions that you normally ask employees and others who enter your facility or home. HCS staff will contact you before arriving to determine if there is any suspected or known COVID in the setting. In the event of known or suspected COVID, they will reschedule the in-person assessment for a later date or work with you and the client to complete remotely if delaying will negatively impact client access to Medicaid services. HCS staff will wear all appropriate source control (well fitted face mask or KN95), follow facility safety requirements and all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance for infection prevention. The HCS case manager will work with you on ways to minimize contact and limit exposure as much as possible during the appointment.
