SAFETY OF VOLUNTEERS
The Albany Damien Center is taking the following steps to foster the health and wellness of our members, tenants, visitors and staff:
- We have restricted access to our building to the rear entrance only and are screening anyone entering the building, including taking temperatures, before they are allowed inside.
- We have protocols in place for assisting anyone who has an indication they may be ill, including a “safe zone” for them to wait for assistance away from others and outside of the building.
- We are greatly reducing the traffic in the building by:
- Accepting deliveries outside of the building whenever possible
- Encouraging members to pick up their meals outside using our new “Grab ‘N Go” meal services rather than sit-down inside.
- Any items that need to be picked up by members, such as paperwork, food cards or pet food, are given to the member outside of the building
- Any members who are ill will have their meals delivered and set outside of their residence to allow for proper distancing.
- Non-essential staff will be working remotely if they are not already
- We are cleaning and disinfecting all spaces at least once per day and common spaces more often.
- We are encouraging handwashing and other NYSDOH and CDC best practices for preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus. We have several washrooms throughout the building for handwashing and hand sanitizer is available.
- We are not using masks as this has not been recommended.
- We are practicing social distancing and have arranged our sit-down living room/dining room to allow for this.
