Few areas in nursing homes are more closely scrutinized, or more critical to resident safety, than infection prevention and control. Beyond regulatory expectations, effective infection prevention is central to protecting the health of residents and staff alike.
At Qsource, we understand that infection control isn’t just a policy on paper, it’s a set of systems, habits, and frontline decisions that have to work every day, in real-world conditions. That’s why we help nursing homes turn their infection prevention goals into consistent, sustainable practices that stand up to both daily use and survey review.
A Practical Approach to a High-Stakes Priority
Most nursing homes already have infection control policies in place. But when systems are stressed, due to staff turnover, complex care needs, or unexpected outbreaks, those policies can break down. Our consulting support focuses on identifying where those breakdowns happen and helping facilities rebuild processes that are practical, teachable, and realistic for the team.
Qsource works with facilities on areas such as:
- Hand hygiene and staff compliance
- PPE usage and availability
- Environmental cleaning and cross-department communication
- Catheter care and wound management protocols
- Resident cohorting strategies
- Survey preparation and infection control documentation review

Helping Facilities Navigate Real-World Challenges
Infection prevention often fails when theory collides with day-to-day demands. Our consultants meet teams where they are, observing actual workflows, talking with staff, and identifying where procedures are misunderstood or inconsistently applied.
In many facilities we’ve supported, small changes made a major impact. For example:
- A facility struggling with repeat deficiencies in F880 (Infection Control) saw significant improvement after implementing targeted CNA education and a simplified hand hygiene monitoring tool.
- Another facility improved staff compliance with isolation precautions after we helped them streamline PPE station placement and shift accountability into daily huddles.
These outcomes didn’t require overhauls, just better alignment between expectations, training, and frontline realities.

Supporting Your Team at Every Level
Effective infection prevention requires full-team participation, not just leadership oversight. Qsource works across departments to ensure everyone understands their role and feels equipped to act. This includes:
- Clinical staff, who need ongoing support to manage complex care, documentation, and resident changes
- CNAs, who are often the first to notice symptoms or skin changes
- Housekeeping and dietary teams, who support environmental safety and reduce cross-contamination risk
- Leadership, who ensure systems stay consistent even through staff transitions or outbreak conditions
We also help facilities establish simple monitoring and feedback loops to reinforce positive habits and identify when support is needed, without relying solely on annual training.
Readiness That Goes Beyond the Survey
While infection control is a major focus of state and federal surveys, true readiness means building systems that work even when no one is watching. Qsource’s consulting services help facilities build confidence in their infection prevention efforts, not just to pass surveys, but to protect residents and staff in the long run.
We’re not here to point out problems without offering support. Our role is to help you strengthen the systems you already have, fill the gaps you may not see, and ensure your team is set up to succeed.
