Cleaning and Infection Control Responsibility

The Housekeeper is responsible for completing assigned cleaning and disinfecting tasks in a safe, sanitary, and timely manner. Cleaning must be performed according to facility policy, infection control expectations, product instructions, and supervisor direction.

The Housekeeper must not knowingly ignore spills, infection control concerns, contaminated items, unsafe conditions, or areas requiring cleaning.

The Housekeeper must not take, borrow, use, discard, alter, or damage resident belongings.

The Housekeeper is responsible for using cleaning chemicals and disinfectants safely and only as trained. Chemicals must be labeled, stored, handled, and used according to facility policy, product instructions, and safety requirements.

The Housekeeper must promptly report unlabeled chemicals, improper chemical storage, chemical exposure, spills, dispenser concerns, or other chemical safety issues.

Attendance and Reliability

Because housekeeping services, infection control, room readiness, odor control, resident comfort, environmental safety, and facility appearance are important to resident dignity, safety, and facility operations, regular attendance and punctuality are essential functions of this position.

The Housekeeper is expected to report to work as scheduled, complete assigned duties, meet cleaning expectations, communicate concerns promptly, and follow facility call-in and attendance procedures.
