The Burlington Board of Health; its official page is https://www.burlington.org/218/Public-Health. 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.

Legally and practically that distinction governs everything. Our staff knock and wait, announce themselves, work on a published schedule the resident knows in advance, and never move or discard personal belongings — anything unclear is left in place and reported to your staff, not decided by a cleaner. We do not open drawers, closets or medication storage. If a resident declines service that day, we log the refusal and leave; we do not negotiate with them. Staff assigned to residences are consistent week to week, because a familiar face in a memory care wing prevents far more incidents than any protocol document.

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.

A CDC assessment of 438 long-term care facilities in 2020 found 18.1% were unaware of the contact time for the disinfectants they were using — and 206 of those facilities were assisted living. The failure mode is wiping a surface that dries in thirty seconds when the label requires several minutes, so the kill claim is never met. We standardize on a short product list, print the contact time on the bottle label and the cart, train to that number, and check it during supervisor rounds by asking the cleaner to state it. If a surface dries early it is re-wetted, not counted.
