Why is an Effective Cleaning Program Important in Long-Term Care Facilities?
Proper hand hygiene and cleanliness is a top concern with loved ones in long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Long-term care residents, employees, and visitors are in close proximity, which raises the potential risk of the spread of germs.
Another challenge long-term care facilities face is odor control. Incontinence is common, which means not only restrooms but also resident rooms, mattresses, common areas, hallways, and seating need to be properly cleaned and maintained.
Cleanliness is a significant challenge in long-term care facilities. However, an effective long-term care cleaning program will maximize its overall cleanliness and comfort.

Symmetry® Hand Hygiene Program
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) state that hand hygiene helps reduce the spread of germs.

Symmetry dispensers have large sight wi ndows for checking product levels, are available with hidden locks or keyed. Additionally, every dispenser may be customized with your logo, message, and color.
The Symmetry Hand Hygiene Program also offers customizable education, awareness, and behavioral modification tools to help you maximize hand hygiene practices in your long-term care facility. These tools include wall charts, posters, placards and signs.
