In age-old homes, where residents often have compromised immune systems due to aging or underlying health conditions, preventing infections is critical. The SAFE project aims to implement a robust infection control program utilizing high-level disinfectants to safeguard the health of elderly individuals. This initiative will enhance the overall cleanliness of living environments and minimize the risk of infections, thereby improving the quality of life for residents.

Outcomes for Better Health

  • Reduced Infection Rates: Lower incidence of infections among elderly residents, leading to improved overall health and fewer hospitalizations.

  • Enhanced Hygiene Standards: Increased cleanliness and reduced microbial load in common areas and on high-touch surfaces like doorknobs, light switches

  • Improved Resident Well-being: Healthier living environment contributing to better physical and mental well-being of elderly residents.

  • Educated Staff: Enhanced knowledge and practices among staff, leading to sustained infection control efforts.
