Citations Braintree assisted living residences can avoid
Real, published regulatory findings — every citation links to its source.
CDC Infection Control Assessment and Response (ICAR), environmental cleaning domain
Staff cannot state the wet contact time for the disinfectant in use, so surfaces are wiped and allowed to dry short of the label time and the product's kill claim is never achieved.
651 CMR 12.04(12)
No adequate plan to prevent and limit the spread of communicable disease. Every Massachusetts residence must have one, conforming to accepted principles of universal precautions based on DPH guidance.
651 CMR 12.09 — Compliance Reviews of Assisted Living Residences

FAQ: assisted living & senior living cleaning in Braintree
Yes. Braintree (Norfolk County) is one of the 109 Massachusetts cities and towns we serve. It is about 30 miles east of our Marlborough base in a straight line. Every engagement starts with a free on-site assessment; call (978) 307-8107.
Verified examples include Sunrise of Braintree (assisted living residence); Grove Manor Estates (senior living community with assisted living). We list them as local market context; they are not presented as our clients.
The Braintree Health Division; its official page is https://braintreema.gov/217/Health-Division. Clinics, hospitals and long-term care facilities are licensed and surveyed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, while the local board of health handles local environmental-health matters under the State Sanitary Code and local regulations. Our cleaning records are kept so they serve both.
651 CMR 12.04(1)(e) makes State Sanitary Code compliance an express condition of certification for every Massachusetts assisted living residence, and 651 CMR 12.04(13)(b)1 requires the sponsor to forward any Sanitary Code, Building Code or fire safety citation to the state within seven days. So a finding is not a private matter — it becomes a filing. We support it with documented frequencies for common areas, kitchens, trash and laundry rooms, dated condition reports on anything structural we cannot clean, and product records. Repairs, pest licensing and food-service practice remain the residence's; we do not represent otherwise.
Dory's Cleaning Services Inc. carries $2 million general liability, and we issue a certificate naming the residence as additional insured before the first shift. Workers' compensation covers our employees — we staff with employees rather than subcontractors, which keeps liability and training accountability in one place. What we do not claim is a license or certification to clean healthcare facilities, because Massachusetts does not issue one; any vendor telling you otherwise is describing something that does not exist. What is verifiable is insurance, employee training records, and documented protocols, and those are what we put in front of your risk manager.
29 CFR 1910.1030 governs it, and it carries weight in this sector: federal OSHA issued 9 citations across 3 assisted living inspections between October 2024 and September 2025, with $37,006 in penalties — the largest penalty total of any standard for assisted living. Our staff are trained and equipped for environmental decontamination of spills: PPE, absorb, clean, then disinfect with an EPA-registered product at label contact time, with contaminated waste bagged per your regulated-waste policy. If the incident involves a resident who is still being attended, care staff manage the resident first and call us to the surface afterward.
