- Assisted Living Residences
- Independent Living
- Memory Care
Usually arranged with the executive director.
We give rehabilitation clinics and senior care facilities particular focus — see how we clean them.

What inspectors cite — and how we prevent it
Real, published regulatory findings — every citation links to its source.
CDC Infection Control Assessment and Response (ICAR)
No auditing of hand hygiene and PPE compliance — a written policy exists, but no observational monitoring confirms staff follow it.
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
Common-area housekeeping is inspected directly by the state. Massachusetts compliance reviews happen at least every two years and must include a physical inspection of the residence's common areas.
Questions worth asking at the walkthrough
- What do you change during a norovirus outbreak?
- How do you reduce fall risk while floors are wet?
- What records will support our compliance review?

FAQ: assisted living & senior living cleaning in Foxborough
Yes. Foxborough (Norfolk County) is one of the 109 Massachusetts cities and towns we serve. It is about 25 miles southeast of our Marlborough base in a straight line. Every engagement starts with a free on-site assessment; call (978) 307-8107.
All of them: 02035. If your facility sits on a town line, tell us the street address and we will confirm.
The Foxborough Board of Health; its official page is https://www.foxboroughma.gov/boards_committees/board_of_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.
Under 651 CMR 12.09, Massachusetts compliance reviews occur at least every two years and must include a physical inspection of the residence's common areas — dining, activity and lounge spaces, corridors, common bathrooms, laundry and trash rooms. Those are the areas where a reviewer forms an impression in the first ten minutes. We keep them on a named schedule rather than an as-available one, with logs showing frequency, and we walk them with your Executive Director before the review window opens. Anything requiring paint, flooring, upholstery replacement or repair goes to you in writing with enough lead time to act.
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.
