Disclosure statements
This course is provided for educational purposes to enhance understanding of infection control principles in adult foster care and assisted living settings. It is intended to supplement, not replace, the policies, procedures, and infection control protocols established by regulatory agencies, public health authorities, or your organization’s governing body.
Participants are encouraged to use the information presented as a guide to informed and proactive caregiving but must follow all applicable laws, licensing requirements, and clinical directives when implementing infection control measures. This course does not qualify participants as infection control specialists, nor does it certify them to create or modify facility-level infection control policies without appropriate training and oversight.
Information concerning bioterrorism, emerging diseases, and antibiotic resistance is included to provide broader context but should not be interpreted as comprehensive or immediately actionable without consultation from healthcare professionals or public health officials.
When specific infection risks or outbreaks arise, it is essential to consult licensed medical personnel and public health authorities for timely and appropriate responses.
