Dilworth Center has enhanced our protocols for cleaning and disinfecting our facility. Facility-wide disinfecting procedures are completed on a daily basis.

These include disinfecting:

• Hand rails
• Door knobs and handles
• Sinks, faucets, hand towel dispensers, toilets and bathroom fixtures
• Counter tops
• Window sills
• Light switches
• Equipment controls – copiers, printers, microwaves and appliances
• Cabinet and file drawer knobs and handles
• Telephones, keyboards and mice

All patients and staff have been trained on ways to protect against the transmission of COVID-19 and other viral and bacteriological infections. These include:

• Proper handwashing techniques
• Proper respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette
• Proper disinfecting procedures for personal surroundings
• Disinfecting procedures for work stations
• If sick, patients and staff are expected to stay home and take care of themselves

All patients are screened prior to admission for

• Personal illnesses
• Illnesses of those close to them
• Recent international travels
