FAQs

The Centers for Disease Control recommends that everyone “assess the suitability of the residential setting for home care.” In consultation with state or local health department staff, a healthcare professional should assess whether the residential setting is appropriate for home care. Considerations for care at home include whether:

• The patient is stable enough to receive care at home.

• Appropriate caregivers are available at home.

• There is a bedroom where the patient can recover without sharing immediate space with others.

• There is a separate bathroom for the patient. If this is not feasible, care should be taken to disinfect the bathroom after each use.

• Resources for access to food and other necessities are available.

• The patient and other household members can adhere to precautions recommended as part of home care or isolation. This includes the ability of the patient to wear a mask when indicated.
