Abstract

New German legislative ordinances prescribe hygiene control in nursing homes and homes for the aged, e. g. the Law for Protection against Infectious Diseases and in North-Rhine Westphalia the Public Health Law. However, there are as yet no clearly defined standards of hygiene because the special features of nursing homes must be considered when applying the "Guidelines for Hospital Hygiene and Prevention of Infections" issued by the Robert Koch Institute. Hence, specific recommendations are given for hygiene of the hands, disinfection, hygienic treatment care, protective and professional clothing, washing of textiles, central kitchen, disposal of waste, house cleaning and handling of drugs and medicines.
