Environmental & Housekeeping Experts
Let Us Take Care of You
Appreciating Healthcare Workers
Show healthcare workers you are thinking of them. After working tremendously hard and long hours, healthcare workers may not want to go grocery shopping or wait for food. For their convenience, we have implemented grab-n-go’s, meal kits, and convenience stores to make sure they get the nutrition and supplies they need quickly.
Following CDC Guidelines
Let us help you stay aligned with CDC guidelines to ensure everyone’s safety. We can assist in determining safe staffing levels and implementing effective safety measures.
Environmental Cleaning
In addition to daily rounding by directors and supervisors, ISSI utilizes several environmental measures to ensure your facility is clean and safe for all. Our CleanTelligent Inspection software provides real-time updates on service frequency and efficiency. We also use UV-C sanitation for added protection, along with optional ATP and blacklight testing to provide quantifiable assurance for high-touch areas.
