Infection Prevention and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

We at Samaritan have been fortunate enough to have, and continue to have, an adequate supply of PPE for all of our staff members. This includes facemasks (surgical and N95), gowns, gloves, goggles, and faceshields. It is directed by the Director of Nursing and our Infection Control Specialist how these items are used and distributed within our facility to maximize our best infection control practices while still being cautious of supply on hand.

Additional Infection Control steps have been implemented as follows:

  • Only allowing essential personally into the facility
  • Frequent handwashing
  • Screening all employees entering the facility (this includes a questionnaire and temperature check)
  • Only allowing one entrance an exit point for SNF staff to ensure everyone is being screened
  • Enhanced cleaning procedures, including frequent cleaning of high-traffic areas
  • Allowing one pick-up and drop-off location for any items entering or leaving the facility
  • Allowing only vaccinated volunteers
  • Purchased a  UVC Skytron cleaning machine which can be placed in a room and kills any living virus/bacteria.
  • Ionization and frequent cleaning of all high touch surfaces
