Disruption to VIP services during the Omicron outbreak

If there is any disruption to your services, the provider of that service will contact you to reschedule another time.
If you have any questions about how these services will operate, call that service provider. Some may be able to continue, others may not.
If you have trouble contacting that service provider, call us to speak with your Case Manager or the VIP Services team.

Some service providers may be able to cover the work of a staff member who is isolating. However, this may not always be possible. They may need to postpone the delivery of their service to you.

If you are concerned at all about catching COVID from any of the service providers, call us to speak to your Case Manager or with the VIP Services team and ask them to postpone all of the services that you receive.
You may be able to receive some services.
However that will be dependent on the service provider and their own guidelines that manage the delivery of their services. Service providers have upgraded their personal protection equipment and have protocols in place to meet with both the vaccinated and unvaccinated.
Please discuss this with them when they call to schedule a time to meet with you.
