1) The employer has refused to follow the Michigan Executive Orders regarding remote work and telehealth options. While many consumers are in need of in person services, a majority are not. Currently, when a person calls to schedule an intake or is discharged and deemed to be in need of treatment within the three counties served, they are not allowed to provide the option of telehealth services. This means consumers, regardless of their desire, are required to take public or personal transportation to their appointment, check in to the lobby, be directed through the agency, and meet in person with at least 2 individuals in order to even be considered for treatment for their mental health needs. Staff are able to access the electronic medical system electronically from home. They are required to spend eight hours, five days per week on-site, not even allowed to do paperwork at home to minimize contact. 2) Staff who meet with consumers are doing so in a closed office space (6 feet distance usually) for 60-90 minutes with consumers who do not wear their masks properly with only the option of using additional PPE if concerned. This is done without clinical oversight/supervision within the units. 3) Staff are required to meet with clients even after positive COVID-19 screenings without negative follow up tests, again with the option of additional PPE only. 4) There is a complete lack of cleaning of any public spaces such as bathrooms, check in points, main community lobby, restrooms, and doorknobs or stairwells.
