Infection Prevention and Control for Long-Term Care and Retirement Homes
Integrating infection prevention and control (IPAC) best practices into care in long-term care (LTC) and retirement homes (RH) will reduce the transmission of infections, decrease the risk of outbreaks, and protect residents, staff, and visitors.
