Infection Prevention Strategies for Home Care

Infection prevention is of the utmost importance in all health care settings, but it holds particular significance in home care. The home serves as a sanctuary for vulnerable individuals, where they can receive the care they need while minimizing their exposure to infectious agents. By placing a strong emphasis on infection prevention measures within the home, caregivers can effectively reduce the risk of hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and other healthcare interventions. This improves health outcomes and enhances the overall quality of life for those under their care.
