Inside Visitation Infection Control Barriers

The Location

Welcome Nursing Home- Oberlin, OH

The Challenge

Allow Residents Visitation from Family Members with Proper Infection Control

The Solution

Nursing home residents usually have limited access to seeing their family members in a pandemic. Since this part of the human population is more vulnerable than most, it’s no secret that extra precautions typically take place to protect them from sickness. However, how do they see the ones that mean the most to them? Welcome Nursing Home divides their large multipurpose into smaller segments to give residents not only some privacy with their family but also protection from germs. By using portable room dividers for infection control, this nursing home can have inside visitation.

As shown, Welcome uses a Screenflex Standard Divider to create these resident spaces. This partition rests on casters that allow adaptability for when different groups come in. The panels also fold accordion-style and can create a variety of shapes. This feature also allows for compact storage as well when the divider is not in use. This screen also has a vinyl covering on it which has a built-in antimicrobial coating and is easy to clean. In a pandemic setting, every surface needs lots of extra sanitation and this divider is no exception. While giving their residents infection control, the Screenflex Dividers allow their families an excellent resource for inside visitation
