Depending on the situation, we may assess if there is a home health aide, caregiver, or family member in the home that can support the patient. If the patient is someone who would benefit most from an in-person visit, we would see this person in the office, with safety planning measures in place, including but not limited to, scheduling the appointment during hours when the clinic has less traffic, ensuring that patient wears a mask to appointment, if they are able, and practicing proper infection control and hygiene protocols, and encouraging the patient to also do so. Our offices never closed for in-person visits during the height of the pandemic, however, we limited in-person visits to those that were necessary and the need could not otherwise be satisfied by telehealth.
