Rehabilitation Clinic & Senior Care Facility Cleaning in Massachusetts
Outpatient rehab clinics, skilled nursing and long-term care, assisted living and memory care — cleaned by a team led by a founder with 22 years inside clinical settings. $2M insured.
Two of our core specialties
Rehabilitation clinics and senior care facilities are where cleaning touches people most directly: patients lie on shared treatment tables and grip shared equipment, and residents live in the rooms we clean. Both groups are among the most vulnerable people a cleaning crew serves, and both are a central part of what Dory’s does across 109 Massachusetts cities and towns.
What is different in senior care
- It is the residents’ home. Crews knock, ask before entering, and clean at times agreed with nursing or the residence.
- Outbreaks move fast. Norovirus, influenza, COVID-19 and C. difficile spread in shared spaces; frequency and products escalate under your infection preventionist’s direction.
- Falls are a cleaning risk. Wet floors are signed and sequenced around resident traffic, especially in corridors and bathrooms.
- Discharge cleaning has a clock. Rooms are turned to fit admissions, with every furniture surface and fixture covered.
- Memory care needs routine. Schedules follow your staff’s routines so residents are not disrupted.
- Saturday coverage. Our regular hours run Monday to Saturday, so weekend turnover does not wait until Monday.
What is different in rehabilitation clinics
- Direct skin contact with shared equipment — treatment tables, plinths, mats, bands, weights, parallel bars and balance equipment.
- Products that suit the surfaces — disinfectants compatible with table upholstery and mat vinyl, used at their full label contact time.
- A clear split with your therapists — staff wipe equipment between patients; we do the full clean after the last appointment and report any torn upholstery that can no longer be disinfected.
- The gym and the restrooms stay separate — color-coded cloths so restroom equipment never reaches treatment areas.
The standards behind the work
- 42 CFR 483.80 — infection prevention and control in long-term care facilities (CMS F880)

- 105 CMR 150.000 — Massachusetts standards for long-term care facilities
- 651 CMR 12.00 — certification of assisted living residences in Massachusetts
- OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 — bloodborne pathogens, for every worker with potential exposure
- EPA-registered disinfectants used at label contact times, including List K sporicidal products for C. difficile

Questions from rehab and senior care administrators
Yes. We clean outpatient physical, occupational and speech therapy clinics and sports-medicine rehabilitation clinics: treatment tables and plinths, mats, free weights, resistance equipment, parallel bars, cardio equipment handles and consoles, plus waiting rooms and restrooms. Staff usually wipe shared equipment between patients; we do the full clean after the last appointment.
Yes. We clean skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, rest homes, assisted living residences and memory care: resident rooms daily and on discharge, dining and activity rooms, corridors and handrails, shared bathrooms, and nursing stations. Visits are scheduled around meals, therapy sessions and resident routines.
Frequency goes up and products change under the direction of your infection preventionist — for example a sporicidal EPA-registered disinfectant (EPA List K) for C. difficile rooms. Handrails, elevator buttons and shared bathrooms are cleaned more often, and every change is logged.
Nursing homes that participate in Medicare or Medicaid follow 42 CFR 483.80 (infection prevention and control) and 42 CFR 483.10(i) (a safe, clean, comfortable and homelike environment); Massachusetts long-term care facilities also follow 105 CMR 150.000. Assisted living residences are certified under 651 CMR 12.00. Staff who may contact blood or body fluids are covered by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030.
They knock, ask before entering a resident’s room or apartment, work at times agreed with nursing or the residence, keep wet floors signed to reduce fall risk, and follow memory-care routines set by your staff.
