Water Hygiene Services for Care Homes & Social Care

Supporting care homes, residential and supported living settings with Legionella risk management, water hygiene monitoring, sampling and remedial support.

Helping care and social care settings manage water hygiene risks

Care homes, residential care and supported living settings can present a range of water hygiene risks, particularly where residents may be more vulnerable to infection. Showers and bathing facilities, thermostatic mixing valves, little-used outlets, stored water systems and the need to balance water temperatures with scalding risks can all require careful management.

BrodexTrident supports care and social care providers with Legionella risk assessments, water hygiene monitoring, sampling, reporting and remedial guidance to help maintain safe water systems and demonstrate effective ongoing control.

 

Temperature control and scalding risks

Hot and cold water temperatures need to be effectively controlled while aso managing the increased risk of scalding for vulnerable residents.

Little-used outlets

Vacant bedrooms, unused bathrooms and other infrequently used outlets can reduce water turnover and increase the risk of stagnation.

Showers and bathing facilities

Showers, assisted bathing facilities and other aerosol-generating outlets require appropriate monitoring, cleaning and maintenance.

Vulnerable residents

Older people and those with underlying health conditions may be more susceptible

Hot and cold stored water

Cold water storage tanks, calorifiers and plant areas should be inspected, maintained and monitored appropriately.

Record keeping and audit readiness

Clear records help demonstrate that monitoring, flushing, sampling and corrective actions are being managed.
