How are nursing homes cleaned? Results of a survey of 6 nursing homes in Southeast Michigan.

Aya Saeb1, Lona Mody1, Kristen Gibson2.   

Abstract

This brief report details 2 surveys that were conducted to better understand current cleaning practices in 6 nursing home facilities in Southeast Michigan. Each facility's environmental services supervisor answered questions regarding cleaning policy and procedures, roles and responsibilities of the staff, and frequency of education and training; one environmental services employee from each facility answered questions addressing education and training, employer evaluation and feedback, and workload. We identify gaps in knowledge and behaviors and note substantial variations in cleaning practices. Published by Elsevier Inc.
