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. Implementation of IPAC best practices is essential to creating and maintaining a safe and healthy long-term care retirement home environment.
We offer expertise and tools to help health care workers understand and implement IPAC practices.
