Many of the employees in a senior living facility; Esplanade at Palisades LLC, are considered "Universal Workers" and are responsible for the cleaning and disinfection of residents' apartment units in addition to caring their residents. Most senior living staff have responsibilities that are scheduled daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and on a yearly basis. Much of the cleaning is done during the day. Laundry service is provided by housekeepers. When providing laundry services, you are to collect resident laundry, wash, dry, and fold and place clean laundry in residents apartment, on their bed. Payment for this service is collected through the Payroll and accounting Coordinator.

• Independence: If a resident does not want housekeeping services but ask to borrow the vacuum because he or she wants to remain as independent as possible, this should be accommodated.
• Privacy: Before entering an apartment unit to clean, staff are to knock, inform the resident who you are, and ask permission to come in so they do not startle the resident or invade his or her privacy.
• Individuality and dignity: adherence to these various cleaning schedules contributes to each resident's sense of dignity by allowing them to maintain choice, independence, and privacy.
• A homelike environment: Policies and procedures are established that address all areas of the community to create an overall homelike environment that reaches beyond the resident's unit.
