COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire

The care we provide to our vulnerable seniors is so important, and in order to ensure they continue to receive in-home services during the COVID-19 precautions, we are providing additional guidance for staff members who are conducting assessments or providing services in a home setting. To protect vulnerable seniors and their caregivers, beginning April 29, 2020, the Illinois Department on Aging (IDOA) is requiring staff to ask the questions found in the COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire prior to a face-to-face visit. The screening tool should be used for the following:

  • To screen staff at least 24 hours before any face-to-face contact with an older/vulnerable adult.
  • To screen the older/vulnerable adult at least 24 hours before any face-to-face contact.
