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

All of them: 01773. If your facility sits on a town line, tell us the street address and we will confirm.

F921 (42 CFR 483.90(i)) covers exactly this — soiled utility, housekeeping closets, and unsanitary tub and shower rooms. It is comparatively rare in Massachusetts, cited at 1.0% of facilities, which means being cited stands out. We schedule these as named rooms with their own frequency rather than leaving them to whoever finishes early: hopper and sink disinfection, floor and cove base, shelving, cart parking, chemical storage secured and labeled, nothing stored on the floor. Damaged or unsealed surfaces get reported to you in writing, because a surface that can no longer be cleaned is a maintenance repair, not a cleaning failure.
Room-level cleaning logs with date, time, initials and product used; isolation and discharge clean records; a current product list with EPA registration numbers and label contact times; Safety Data Sheets for everything on our carts; training records for our staff covering product handling; and a supervisor QA checklist with correction notes. All of it is yours and stays on site. When a surveyor asks how you know the room was cleaned, a signed log with a named product beats a verbal assurance from whoever is on shift that day.
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.
