NVNA and Hospice COVID-19 Updates

COVID-19 Updates

NVNA and Hospice remains committed to upholding the highest safety standards for both our patients and employees.

We continue to follow the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) as new changes arise.

All NVNA and Hospice staff are fully vaccinated.

All our clinicians use personal protective equipment (PPE) and our focus remains on infection control.

We have mitigated the challenges of securing PPE and monitor our inventory daily.

All employees are screened daily before beginning a shift.

5/19/22: Every home in the U.S. is once again eligible to order a 3rd round of free at-home COVID-19 tests.
Medicare B or Medicare Advantage patients can also obtain 8 free over-the-counter tests at pharmacies or providers for each calendar month until the end of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. Please click here for more information.
