Managing Infection Control in Care Homes

August 18, 2021

At Vistamatic and BetweenGlassBlinds, infection control is a key focus. We design our privacy glass solutions to support clean, safe, and efficient healthcare environments. From hospitals to care homes, hygiene plays a vital role in daily operations and patient safety.

Today, more healthcare professionals are calling for better infection control across all care settings. We found an informative article (read it here) that discusses this topic in detail. It explains why care homes must take infection control seriously—not just for safety, but to meet legal standards.

“Managing infection control in care homes isn’t just best practice: it’s also the law… Preventing the spread of infection… largely comes down to knowledge about hygiene practices, and a commitment to put those practices into action.”

This quote highlights how knowledge and accountability go hand in hand. Everyone on staff—from leadership to caregivers—must understand and apply proper hygiene practices every day. Government guidelines now make it clear: clean, well-maintained spaces are a legal and professional requirement.

How Our Products Help

Our vision panels feature non-porous surfaces that resist bacteria and are easy to clean. They don’t require ongoing maintenance like blinds or curtains, which can trap germs and dust over time. That means fewer cleaning demands and more reliable infection control.

We also equip our panels with custom handles that support elbow operation. This helps reduce the number of touchpoints and lowers the risk of cross-contamination. Staff can open or close the panel without using their hands—ideal for sterile or high-traffic areas.

By choosing our privacy glass systems, healthcare facilities gain more than visibility and control—they gain peace of mind. Our products meet clinical standards and help support better hygiene for patients, staff, and visitors alike.
