Isolation Units for Nursing Homes

Nursing home patients are commonly immunocompromised and prone to disease states during outbreaks of illness or infection. While the age of the residents is hindering their chances of fighting off illness, residents are crowded into facilities to make sure that there is always maximum occupancy is met. More patients per room mean less space for distancing healthy residents from the sick ones. While residents can isolate themselves in their own rooms, this has been shown to result in diminished cognitive health and increased memory loss in some residents too.

By adding a SteriSpace Isolation unit to a nursing home you are ensuring safety back into the hearts of patients’ loved ones. SteriSpace ensures infection containment by preventing the recirculation of any “sick” air back into the airflow by maintaining a negative pressure room. The healthy patients that are not in the unit would be safe and free to go about their daily activities.
