We didn’t want the week to go by without acknowledging Infection Prevention Week! At Saint Therese - IHM Senior Living, we have a dedicated Infection Preventionist on our team, who helps keep residents, staff, and visitors safe every day.
Infection Prevention Week is a reminder that small steps make a big difference—especially for older adults. Here are five easy ways to help protect yourself and those you love:
• Wash hands often with soap and water (20 seconds).
• Stay up to date on vaccines (flu, COVID-19, and ask your clinician about RSV for adults 60+).
• If you’re sick, please postpone visits.
• Clean high-touch items—phones, walkers, canes, grab bars, remotes.
• Always cover your cough with your arm (not your hand) or consider a mask.
Thank you to our residents, families, and team members for helping keep our community healthy!
