Infection Control

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are one to three million serious infections that occur in long-term care settings annually. In 2025,  infection prevention & control tag F0880 was a top five citation for nursing homes in the state of Michigan. In an effort to help nursing homes with their infection control practices, SLCS offers an Infection Prevention & Control Consultation to provide education and information, review policies and procedures, and discuss measures to enhance or improve processes that are identified through onsite reviews, discussions, and observations.
