ELDERLY CARE & LONG-TERM CARE

Water safety is essential in environments caring for vulnerable residents.

Elderly care and long-term care environments require structured water safety management to help reduce exposure to waterborne bacteria at critical water outlets.

Point-of-use filtration can support care providers in maintaining safer water delivery at showers, faucets, and resident hygiene areas across nursing homes, care homes, and assisted living environments.

EU FRAMEWORKS RELEVANT TO ELDERLY CARE FACILITIES

  • FDA-Registered Manufacturing Facility - Manufactured in an FDA-registered medical device establishment operating under structured quality management principles
     

  • EU Drinking Water Directive (EU 2020/2184)  - Supports risk-based water safety management approaches across healthcare and residential care environments.
     

  • DIN 58356 - Guidance for point-of-use filtration in hygiene-sensitive healthcare and care environments.
     

  • National Legionella Control Guidelines - Many European countries maintain facility-specific Legionella monitoring and water safety requirements for elderly care environments.

WATER SAFETY IN CARE ENVIRONMENTS

#1

Residents in elderly care environments represent one of the highest-risk groups for Legionnaires’ disease complications

10-15%

Average reported fatality rate associated with Legionnaires’ disease in vulnerable populations

< 5 min

Typical installation time per fixture without plumbing modifications

150–180 Days

Service life designed to align with planned maintenance and preventive care schedules.
