New Long-Term Care Home Opening Readiness
Opening day is the first real test of a new home’s IPAC program.
Our New Long-Term Care Home Opening Readiness service helps ensure your policies, people, supplies and workflows are ready before the first resident arrives. Support is customized to your home and can extend from pre-opening preparation through opening day and the first 90 days of operation.
What We Support:
Before Opening Day
Review the home’s IPAC program, policies, surveillance, auditing, supplies, workflows and staff readiness before residents arrive.
Staff and Leadership Preparation
Ensure leadership, the IPAC Lead and front-line staff understand their roles and are prepared to put the program into practice.
Opening-Day Support
Provide practical IPAC guidance as residents begin moving in and the home transitions from planning into active operations.
First 90 Days
Complete follow-up assessments to confirm systems are working, identify emerging gaps and strengthen the program during early operations.
Customized Action Plan
Provide clear findings, priorities and recommended next steps based on your home’s opening timeline and current level of preparation.
Project Timing
Available as a focused pre-opening assessment or a multi-phase engagement covering preparation, opening and early operations.
A home can be ready to open without every part of its IPAC program being ready to operate.
Policies may be approved, education may be scheduled and supplies may be ordered—but staff must also know how to use those systems in real situations.
Our consultants help bring the different parts of your program together before opening day. Depending on your home’s needs, support may include:
- Pre-opening onsite assessment
- Policy and procedure review
- Surveillance and auditing setup
- Staff and leadership education
- Outbreak-readiness planning
- Workflow and scenario testing
- Supply and environmental-readiness review
- Opening-day guidance
- Written recommendations and action planning
- Follow-up assessments during the first 90 days
