Scope of work by room type
Signed by both sides, so there is no argument later about what was included.
Healthcare Facilities
Clinics, long-term care homes and medical offices in Sudbury, Sault Ste Marie and Timmins. We clean to a written scope your infection control lead can hold us to.
When a surveyor, an inspector or a family member asks how a room was cleaned and how often, you are the one who answers. The answer has to be specific, and it has to match what actually happened on the floor last Tuesday night.
Most cleaning contracts are priced on square footage. A crew scoped that way arrives at your exam rooms with the same cart, the same products and the same twenty minutes it uses in an insurance office down the street. Nobody wrote down which surfaces are high touch in your building, which rooms get cleaned between patients, or who handles the room after a soiled linen call.
Then there is the part of the year that runs from November to April. Road salt, sand and melt water come through your entrance on every boot and every walker wheel, and they sit in the waiting room carpet all winter. That is five months of extra work that almost never appears in a cleaning scope written by someone from outside the region.
Findings about the physical environment are written against your facility. The contractor does not file the corrective action plan, submit the follow-up or sit through the review. Your team does, and that time comes out of a schedule that was already full.
When the cleaning scope is unclear, your clinical and administrative staff quietly absorb it. Wiping down a treatment room between patients gets added to a nursing shift. Restocking the washroom becomes reception's job at 4:30. That cost never shows up on a cleaning invoice. It shows up as overtime, as goodwill spent, and eventually as turnover in the people you can least afford to lose.
Changing contractors is expensive on its own. A re-tender takes months of your time, and the first six weeks with a new crew get spent explaining where the closets are and which door needs a key. Getting the scope right once is cheaper than getting it wrong twice.
We start by walking the building with whoever owns infection prevention at your site. Before we quote anything, we agree on which areas are high touch, which rooms are cleaned between patients, which get a full end-of-day clean, and how waste and soiled utility areas are handled.
We use products according to their label directions, including the wet contact time. A disinfectant wiped dry before it has done its work is a step that looks complete and is not, and that is the kind of gap that gets found later by somebody else.
What we cover in a typical healthcare scope:
We work outside clinic hours where that suits you, and around resident routines in long-term care where it does not.
Cleaning you cannot document is cleaning you cannot defend. Every healthcare contract we hold includes the paperwork side of the job:
Signed by both sides, so there is no argument later about what was included.
Daily, weekly, monthly and periodic tasks listed by area.
For every product we bring into your building, provided on request and kept current.
For the areas you want tracked, so you have a dated record when someone asks.
In Sudbury, Sault Ste Marie or Timmins, who knows your building.
So the contract still matches the building after you renovate, add a room or change your hours.
