3 REASONS YOU NEED PROFESSIONAL CLEANERS FOR YOUR AGED CARE FACILITY
Wednesday, January 3, 2018 CareWhen you invite people over, you’ll often spend hours cleaning beforehand. That’s because at home, cleanliness is all about aesthetics – making an impression on your guests.
Sometimes, however, cleaning is much more important than that. In aged care homes, for example, cleanliness is directly related to the health and wellbeing of residents, which is why you should always leave the job to a professional Aged Care cleaning company.
ACW Care always delivers the highest level of care.Sometimes, however, cleaning is much more important than that.
1. ACW CARE STAFF UNDERGO EXTENSIVE TRAINING
Any professional cleaning company will make sure that their staff are qualified before they head off to a site. At ACW Care, however, we don’t stop there. Our employees are trained in:
Standard best practice – The first step is covering cleaning fundamentals and industry standards for excellence.
Chemical use – Our staff are trained thoroughly in safe, effective chemical use and dilution.
Working with the elderly – Our standard training on elderly persons includes manual handling training on how to react if a resident were to trip, fall or require some kind of assistance from one of our team.
Infections control – We train our staff on how to identify and minimise the spread of bacteria in any environment.
Mandatory reporting – We understand our obligation to report any instances of abuse or neglect of the elderly. To this end, we’re your partners in having your residents’ best interests in mind.
In Aged Care facilities, cleanliness is synonymous with health.2. PASSING A GOVERNMENT AUDIT IS NO EASY FEAT
The Australian Aged Care Quality Agency (AACQA) can audit aged care facilities at any time – announced or unannounced. When they do decide to measure your facility to their stringent requirements, you’ll want to have a professional Aged Care cleaning company on your side.

Acquiring these equipment and chemicals would be an expensive investment for most organisations. However, taking advantage of innovative solutions offers countless benefits in terms of efficiency, productivity and quality of care.
For us, it’s all part of doing business with you. Aged Care cleaning is our passion and we’re seeking to improve our processes to deliver the best for your residents and staff.
