How the Pro-Link LTC Program Works
Housekeeping Operational Tools
Pro-Link has developed a number of tools that LTC facilities can use to improve their housekeeping program. Some of these tools include the following:
LTC Building Audit – The first step in understanding the effectiveness of a housekeeping program is a thorough building audit to identity what is currently being done effectively and where opportunities for improvement exist.
Healthcare Acquired Infection Prevention Checklist – HAIs are becoming a more significant issue in LTC facilities; impacting residents’ health, increasing unnecessary re-admissions and driving up costs. Pro-Link has developed a checklist that summarizes procedures and guidelines to help minimize HAIs.
LTC Specific Cleaning Procedures – How your staff cleans is just as important as what they clean with. We offer our customers cleaning procedures specifically developed for a long term care environment. They include procedures for a resident room, dining areas, bath and shower rooms and more. These simple to use procedures are pictorial and are available in English and Spanish. Click

Quality Control and Budget Tracking – we offer a range of tools to help measure and track the quality of the cleaning operation as well as monitor spending.
