Patient placement is not applicable when personal care is provided by a domiciliary care provider to a service user in their own home. Provision of the information required for patient placement will apply when the domiciliary care provider provides personal care to a group of service users in a supported living or sheltered housing complex and takes an active role in liaising with or contacting healthcare professionals on behalf of service users.
Assessment for infection risk is applicable in a service users own home, as well as in a supported living or sheltered housing complex.
A downloadable Community Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Policy which can be adopted by your organisation is available below. Alternatively, a complete set of IPC Policies for Domiciliary Care staff is available to purchase @ £74.99, including postage – details can be found on the flyer and resource order form below.
