Aged Care: Protecting Those Who Protected Us

aged care vulnerable to health acquired infection

Improved healthcare has increased life expectancy for us all. However, as our population ages, the risk of infection becomes greater. Nursing homes, aged care facilities, and long-term care centres must have effective measures in place to protect residents.

Surfaces in these environments can harbour multi-drug-resistant bacteria that cause serious illness in the elderly. Without proper disinfection, these pathogens can spread quickly between residents, staff, and visitors.

How can you protect your residents from contracting these infections?

MUVi UV disinfection can sanitise a small room in as little as 10 minutes and can be used quickly between room use. As MUVi uses no chemicals, it leaves no residue, providing peace of mind for both residents and staff.

While influenza remains a serious threat, other pathogens such as norovirus, tuberculosis, MRSA, VRE, and C. diff can also be dangerous for the elderly. MUVi UV-C disinfection helps eliminate these surface viruses, reducing the risk of opportunistic infections and protecting everyone in the facility.
