YOUR FEET

You may have a client who requests that you remove your shoes before entering his or her home. Perhaps, the request relates to dirt or germs and the client is worried you will track something onto the carpet. Or, maybe it’s just potential scuff marks to the wood flooring that’s the issue. There may be a cultural sensitivity as well. Whatever the rationale, we recommend that you politely decline and that you don’t remove your shoes in a client’s home.
Home health workers face a range of safety risks including falls and accidents. Given the nature of the job and the attention that must be paid to the needs of the client, you may inadvertently slip on the bathroom floor, stub your toe on an open cupboard, or pierce your skin stepping on piece of glass. We want you to be safe, so try to keep your shoes on whenever possible!

The agency makes disposable shoe covers to its staff upon request and free of charge.

Should a client request shoe removal, offer wearing shoe covers instead.​
