Americans link cleanliness with level of care in senior facilities

Study says other expectations include hotel-like amenities, such as fresh, convenient food items, comfort and ambiance


Nine out of 10 Americans link cleanliness with level of care in senior facilities, according to an article on the MarketWatch website.

A recent study by EcoLab Inc., also showed other expectations include hotel-like amenities, such as fresh, convenient food items, comfort and ambiance.

As part of the study, 400 Americans involved in selecting senior living communities were surveyed to determine how these decisions are made, the factors that influence these decisions and the expectations for services and amenities offered by senior living communities.

When asked whether they agreed that “If a community isn’t clean, it suggests to me that the staff might not take good care of the residents,” 93 percent agreed. Ninety-six percent ranked “cleanliness” as important or extremely important when choosing a senior living community; women are twice as likely as men to say cleanliness is their top priority.
