Water Treatment Solutions for Nursing Homes and Long-Term Care Facilities

All homes benefit from clean water, but nursing homes and long-term care facilities especially need clean, purified water that staff and residents can trust to keep them safe and healthy. Clean water is more than just an essential need for drinking and cooking. It also plays a role in reliable air conditioning, plumbing, and other building systems.

At Reynolds Culligan, our water treatment specialists can outfit your facility with a water treatment solution and ongoing supplies so that clean water is not a concern.

Why is Clean Water a Priority in Assisted Living Facilities?

Assisted living facilities need a continuous supply of safe water that can support dozens or even hundreds of residents and team members 24/7. Impure water poses a serious health risk, especially for seniors with chronic conditions or immunocompromised conditions, which can make any infection contribute to serious health impacts. Assisted living residents also need commercial water treatment systems that provide:

  • Soft water that won’t dry out their skin or cause discomfort
  • Tasty water that encourages them to stay hydrated, especially if they have progressive neurological or physiological conditions that can already make hydration challenging
  • Plumbing systems that won’t develop scale and hard water buildup, which can cause repairs or schedule disruptions
  • Staff with access to clean water for washing their hands, preparing food, and cleaning the facility

A water management program also manages and significantly reduces Legionella risks, which can endanger your residents, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires that most facilities have an active program in place.

Having water treatment solutions on-site can also do more than keep your residents and employees safe and provide them with continual access to sanitation best practices. It helps reduce operational costs, as treated water is less likely to deposit minerals inside pipes, water heaters, boilers, and other equipment that support your facility’s daily processes. This cuts down on replacement costs, repairs, and disruptions that can impact your business’s reputation.

Our Comprehensive Water Treatment Services for Senior Living

Reynolds Culligan is a leading provider of commercial water treatment services and solutions, and we develop tailored plans for each of our clients based on their water composition, water volume requirements, and operational needs. The first step is a consultation and water assessment, in which our water treatment technicians test your water to determine potential impurities.

Then, we put together a multi-layered water treatment plan with options that may include:

  • Continuous facility monitoring. We provide monitoring technologies and services, so you have transparent records regarding water quality and receive proactive service appointments for maintenance and medium replenishment.
  • Water pretreatment. This stage of water treatment removes impurities like minerals, pollutants, and solids so the water can run smoothly through boilers and equipment.
  • Water softening. We provide water softening that neutralizes minerals in the water that, while generally safe for consumption, can lead to scale, buildup, and even skin irritation.
  • Reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis with high-quality filters gives your residents and staff access to fresh-tasting drinking water that has been filtered for metals, nitrates, pesticides, and other potential impurities that other treatment methods can’t fully protect against.

We serve hospitals and healthcare facilities with tailored water treatment options, and our long history of expertise powers our ability to provide robust water treatment solutions that meet high standards for health, safety, and sanitation.
