Usually arranged with the director of nursing / administrator.
We give rehabilitation clinics and senior care facilities particular focus — see how we clean them.

Under 29 CFR 1910.1030 — the most-cited OSHA standard in skilled nursing, with 43 citations across 10 federal inspections between October 2024 and September 2025 — contaminated laundry is handled as little as possible, bagged where it is used, never sorted or rinsed in the resident room, and moved in leak-resistant containers. Our staff don PPE at the door per the posted precautions, clean the room last on the round where the schedule allows, discard cloths rather than returning them to the bucket, and doff and perform hand hygiene before leaving.
F584 (42 CFR 483.10(i)) treats a clean, comfortable, homelike environment as a resident right, and it was cited at 17.2% of Massachusetts facilities. Odor is usually cleaning — carpet and upholstery saturation, floor drains, trash holding, delayed incontinence cleanup. Stained mattresses, torn privacy curtains, chipped casework and damaged flooring are replacement items. We separate the two for you: we resolve what cleaning resolves and issue a written condition report on what it cannot, dated. That report is useful evidence that the facility identified and acted on a problem, which is often what the surveyor is really testing.
We do not apply pesticides — that requires a licensed applicator, and Massachusetts does not license cleaning companies for it. What we control is the conditions F925 (42 CFR 483.90(i)(4)) actually turns on: trash removal frequency, dumpster area cleanliness, food debris in resident rooms and pantries, drain and floor-crevice cleaning, and storage kept off the floor. We report sightings and evidence in writing so your pest contractor's log shows a facility that reported and responded. F925 is cited at 2.0% of Massachusetts facilities but often at wide scope, which raises the severity of an otherwise small finding.
