What rehabilitation clinic cleaning covers in Ayer
Our Ayer program for rehabilitation clinics is written around one risk — direct skin contact with shared equipment all day, with no barrier — MRSA and fungal transfer — and one set of surfaces: treatment tables, mats, therabands, free weights, exercise balls, parallel bars, treadmills.
Facility types we clean under this service:
- Physical Therapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Speech Therapy
- Sports Medicine
Usually arranged with the clinic director (pt / ot / speech).
Rehab clinics, nursing homes and assisted living are a core specialty for us — 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 Prevention Checklist for Outpatient Settings, Section II item A; CDC Core Practices 5f
Shared equipment reprocessed in a way the manufacturer never specified. CDC's position is that where no cleaning and disinfection instructions exist, the item is not suitable for multi-patient use.
CDC Infection Prevention Checklist for Outpatient Settings, Section II item B; CDC Core Practices 5b
Disinfectant wipes used with insufficient contact time — the surface dries before the label kill time, or the product is past shelf life or badly stored.
CDC Core Infection Prevention and Control Practices 5f
Clean and soiled equipment stored together, with no physical separation to prevent cross-contamination.

Yes. CDC Core Practices 5f expects physical separation between clean and soiled items, so that a cleaned item cannot be recontaminated or mistaken for a used one. In a busy gym the workable version is a designated soiled bin or drop zone for anything a patient has handled, a separate clean shelf, and a convention everyone follows without thinking. We can supply and service that routing, but the layout decision is yours. It costs almost nothing to fix and it is among the first things an assessor looks at.
Yes, and the absence of checking is itself a finding. Section I item D of the CDC Infection Prevention Checklist expects evidence that the clinic monitors and assesses whether cleaning is consistently and correctly performed. We build that in: dated service logs by zone, a supervisor audit on a defined interval using a written checklist tied to your own protocol, and a corrective-action note whenever something misses. You keep the record. The point is not to grade our crew for you, it is that you can show an assessor a monitoring process that exists on paper.
The written cleaning and disinfection policy covering the gym, treatment tables, and shared equipment, with responsibility assigned line by line; the equipment inventory flagging items with no manufacturer reprocessing instructions; the product list with EPA registration numbers and label contact times; SDS sheets; per-person training and competency records; dated service logs; and supervisor audit results. That set answers Section I items A through D of the CDC Infection Prevention Checklist directly. Dory's carries $2 million in general liability and will name your clinic on the certificate.
