🧼✨ Clean Hands, Healthy Home! ✨🧼
Did you know that proper hand hygiene is one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent illness and protect your loved ones—especially seniors and those with weakened immune systems?
We loved this educational article from the CDC on the importance of hand hygiene in healthcare settings:
👉 https://www.cdc.gov/clean-hands/about/hand-hygiene-for-healthcare.html
It’s full of great tips on when and how to clean your hands — whether you’re a caregiver, patient, or family member. Remember:
✅ Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
✅ Use hand sanitizer when soap and water aren’t available.
✅ Don’t be afraid to remind your caregiver or loved one to wash their hands, too — teamwork keeps everyone healthy!
At Vertical Home Health, we take infection prevention seriously. Every caregiver follows strict hand hygiene practices to ensure a clean, safe environment for our clients. 💙
Let’s all do our part to stop the spread of germs — because clean hands truly do save lives! 🙌
