Nursing Care Centers + Assisted Living Facilities
When people think about specialized waste disposal, assisted living facilities and nursing care centers are often overlooked.
But for Nucore Medical Waste Services, these are important partners that generate different kinds of medical waste that still need to be disposed of in the proper fashion.
While assisted living facilities and nursing care centers don’t create much medical waste, they do generate pharmaceutical waste that must be handled properly, as well as plenty of sharps for disposal.
These organizations are not equipped to handle the proper collection and disposal of these waste items, which is where our team comes into the picture. Contact us today to learn more about scheduling frequency and more.
While many may know us from our name that we handle medical waste from a variety of different organizations, we also handle other items that also need to be dealt with in specific ways. But what really sets us apart is our collection scheduling, which can be as frequent as daily to as infrequent as only when you call for a pickup. We do not require any long-term contracts either, so you aren’t locked into agreements when they no longer work for your needs. And just as important, we will provide you with the certificates of destruction for the different kinds of medical waste that we pick up.
One of the largest group of items that we end up handled from assisted living facilities as well as nursing care centers are sharps. This is because many of the residents of these locations require medications, blood draws, or other uses of needles.
All of these must be properly disposed of in a sharps container, and those containers need to be replaced and the contents properly disposed of as well with professional sharps container disposal services.
We provide fast and safe sharps pickups for all kinds of clients, on a schedule that works for them.
Another common item that we help these facilities with is pharmaceutical waste pickup and disposal. Medications, whether prescription or over the counter, are a common waste product that cannot be disposed of with the regular garbage. These need to be handled separately and then rendered inert so that they cannot harm anyone, and these facilities do not have the equipment to do this.
Nucore Medical Waste Services is your partner in handling medical waste pickup and disposal, sharps disposal, and pharmaceutical waste for assisted living facilities, nursing care centers, hospitals, veterinary offices, and many other facilities.
We provide pickup schedules that work for your needs and supply the required chain of custody and compliance documentation.
Along with pharmaceutical waste disposal, we also offer secure document destruction to prevent patient information from getting into the wrong hands.
From patient records to other sensitive documentation, proper handling and destruction are essential to maintaining compliance.
We provide certificates of destruction and proper documentation to ensure regulatory compliance and peace of mind. Contact us today to learn more about scheduling secure document shredding services that fit your facility’s needs.
