Infection prevention and control (IPC) is critical in assisted living communities, where residents face higher risks due to age and comorbidities. The Infection Prevention & Control Guidelines for Assisted Living Communities provide practical, evidence-based strategies to identify risks, prevent outbreaks, detect diseases early, and mitigate transmission.
Updated with lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic, the IPC Guidelines are tailored to the unique needs of assisted living communities. They outline program leadership, staff training, prevention practices, outbreak investigations, and performance evaluations. Developed with input from industry experts and regulators, they ensure relevance to assisted living while complementing federal, state, and local guidance.
While voluntary, these Guidelines aim to enhance consistency across states and improve care quality. Download the Guidelines today to strengthen your community’s infection control practices and safeguard health and safety.
