Protect Residents, Staff, and Visitors with Advanced eHEPA® Air Filtration
Compliance and Standards
Nursing homes and assisted living centers are responsible for maintaining safe, healthy indoor environments for vulnerable populations. These facilities must adhere to strict guidelines related to indoor air quality, infection control, and ventilation, often governed by OSHA standards, local building codes, and International Mechanical Code (IMC) requirements.
Proper ventilation and air purification are not just operational necessities—they are essential safeguards designed to reduce airborne health risks, support resident well‑being, and maintain regulatory compliance.
Meeting these standards provides critical benefits:
- Improved Safety: Reduces exposure to airborne pathogens and environmental contaminants.
- Enhanced Comfort: Helps maintain fresh, breathable air throughout resident rooms and common areas.
- Compliance Confidence: Supports adherence to health regulations and inspection requirements, reducing liability risk.
Key Features of Effective Ventilation Systems
Long‑term care environments present unique air quality challenges. Residents often have compromised immune systems, chronic respiratory conditions, or increased sensitivity to airborne irritants. A high‑performance ventilation and purification system must operate continuously, quietly, and efficiently to protect both residents and caregivers.
HealthyAir® systems are engineered to meet these demands with proven technology and flexible configurations.
Filtration Technology
Patented eHEPA® (electrostatic HEPA) filtration technology is the foundation of HealthyAir® systems. Unlike traditional HEPA filters alone, eHEPA® enhances particle capture efficiency while maintaining strong airflow.
This advanced filtration helps remove:
- Airborne bacteria and viruses
- Fine particulate matter and aerosols
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from cleaning agents and disinfectants
- Odors associated with medical treatments and daily care activities
By combining pre‑filtration, energized HEPA filtration, and activated carbon adsorption, HealthyAir® systems eliminate the need for multiple air filtration devices in sensitive care environments.
Source Capture and Ambient Air Purification
HealthyAir® systems are designed to capture contaminants as close to the source as possible while also continuously purifying ambient air. This dual approach is especially important in:
- Resident rooms
- Treatment and therapy areas
- Dining halls and activity rooms
- Staff workstations and nursing stations
By preventing airborne contaminants from circulating throughout the facility, HealthyAir® systems help protect the breathing zone of residents, caregivers, and visitors alike.
Installation Options
Every care facility has a unique layout, and HealthyAir® offers multiple installation options to accommodate different needs:
- Ceiling-Mounted Units: Ideal for permanent installation in resident rooms, corridors, and common spaces where floor space must remain unobstructed.
- Wall-Mounted Systems: Provide targeted purification in treatment rooms or staff areas.
- Portable Floor Units: Flexible and cost-effective solutions that can be relocated as needs change or used during outbreaks or high‑risk periods.
Each solution can be scaled to match the size, airflow requirements, and occupancy patterns of the facility.
Benefits of Proper Ventilation
Investing in proper air purification for nursing homes and assisted living centers delivers measurable benefits for residents, staff, and administrators.
- Health Protection: Reduces airborne transmission risks and exposure to harmful contaminants.
- Infection Control Support: Helps limit the spread of respiratory illnesses in shared spaces.
- Resident Comfort: Cleaner air contributes to improved breathing comfort and overall quality of life.
- Operational Efficiency: Systems operate continuously with minimal disruption to daily care routines.
- Regulatory Readiness: Supports compliance with health inspections and safety audits.
Health Risks Associated with Poor Air Quality
Poor indoor air quality can have serious consequences in long‑term care environments. Without effective ventilation and purification, facilities may face:
- Airborne Pathogen Spread: Viruses and bacteria can circulate through shared spaces and resident rooms.
- Chemical Exposure: Disinfectants and cleaning agents release VOCs that can irritate airways.
- Odor Accumulation: Persistent odors can impact comfort and dignity for residents.
- Respiratory Stress: Vulnerable individuals may experience increased breathing difficulties or complications.
Over time, unmanaged air quality issues can contribute to increased illness, staff absenteeism, and reduced quality of care.
Maintenance and Efficiency
HealthyAir® systems are designed for reliable, low‑maintenance operation—an important factor for care facilities managing tight schedules and staffing demands.
- Filter Replacement: eHEPA® filters are easily accessible and typically replaced every 6–12 months depending on usage.
- Energy Efficiency: Systems are engineered to deliver high performance without excessive energy consumption.
- Quiet Operation: Low noise output ensures a calm, comfortable environment for residents.
- Routine Inspections: Simple visual checks help maintain consistent performance with minimal effort.
With proper maintenance, HealthyAir® systems provide long-term value and dependable air quality protection.
