At Ecumenical Retirement Community we have a very stringent infection control process:
Guided by directives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the Ecumenical Retirement Community adheres to robust infection control measures, ensuring the safety of our residents, colleagues, vendors, and visitors. A team of experienced clinical professionals, including former Chief Nursing Officers from hospitals and individuals trained in infection control techniques by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), provides expert guidance on clinical aspects, encompassing preventive measures against contagious illnesses and treatment protocols.
Within Ecumenical Retirement Community, the environmental services team employs potent cleaning and disinfection products effective in combatting various contagious illnesses, including COVID-19 and influenza. This team utilizes state-of-the-art disinfection equipment such as UV lighting, substantial air scrubbers, and electrostatic guns, while also implementing daily sanitization endeavors across the entire campus. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, special filters have been integrated into our HVAC systems to curtail the dissemination of germs.
Acknowledging the expectations of our residents, families, and colleagues, Ecumenical Retirement Community places utmost value on providing peace of mind and a secure setting. Our unwavering commitment involves not only meeting but also anticipating and embracing this objective on a daily basis.
