Shortages of disinfectants crucial to the safety of front-line workers and our beloved elderly population are going to be a problem for the foreseeable future. Fortunately, facilities such as Friendship Village Columbus, a senior assisted and independent living community in Columbus, Ohio are taking pro-active steps to ensure they can focus on quality care, versus searching for supplies.
Two months ago, Friendship Village installed R-Water’s EPA regulated device that enables them to produce 300 gallons of their own disinfectant, TK60 at their facility daily. TK60 is a hypoallergenic healthcare-grade disinfectant proven effective in killing coronavirus (COVID-19), MRSA, and C. Diff. spores in just one minute, 10 times faster than the industry standard.
Brian Garrabrant, Assistant Director of Environmental Services at Friendship Village of Dublin said, "I've been here 22 years and have never felt like the facility was truly clean until we started using R-Water. If we could get R-Water in every facility, everywhere, we'd be able to squash this Coronavirus outbreak."
The device also produces FC+, an all-purpose cleaner and degreaser. TK60 and FC+ replace all the disinfecting and cleaning products previously used. Both solutions are free of toxins, color, and added fragrance, so they are non-irritating to lungs. This is especially important for residents with COPD, asthma, and COVID-19.
“Nursing home and extended care workers are heroes every day, and we love helping make their jobs easier,” said Rayne Guest, founder and CEO of R-Water. “Friendship Village Columbus provides superior care to its residents and we are honored to be working with them to achieve their mission.”
R-Water began installing systems in Senior Living Communities in 2016, after being positively reviewed by the Texas Department for the Aging and Disabled; and is used by a number of facilities and public buildings, including Franklin Park Round Rock , CHRISTUSTrinity Mother Frances Hospital, City of Austin Building Services, and Appletree Court Assisted Living.
R-Water is committed to reducing the spread of preventable infectious diseases and the unnecessary human and environmental exposure to chemicals and toxins. Further, R-Water’s technology allows facilities to produce cleaning and disinfecting solutions on-site and ready-to-use, eliminating the need for chemical transport, storage, mixing, and the disposal of toxic chemical containers into our environment.
