COVID-19 AND OPT IN PROCEEDURES

If you have not already opted-in and wish to proceed with in-person volunteer visits at this time, please complete all of the following steps:
 
1)  Watch this 40 minute COVID education refresher. It will tell you everything you need to know to resume in-person visits. There is a section about weekly testing. This can be ignored. All other requirements mentioned in the video are still in place.
 
2) Complete the COVID Competency exam and return it to us at volunteer@trucare.org or by regular mail to the address in my signature below. 
 
3) Complete this short opt-in Google Form. Please answer all questions. 
 
4) Complete a personal health screening before each visit or before each shift at the Care Center. For home visits, call the family the day of the visit to confirm they are prepared to see you. Ask them: "has anyone in the home had symptoms of COVID-19 in the last 7 days."  If they say yes, cancel your visit and let us know. Indicate their answer on the corresponding question on your personal health screening.
