Mold and microbial growth don’t announce themselves — by the time visible signs show up, moisture has usually been building in bathrooms, kitchens, or HVAC systems for a while, and medically fragile or elderly residents are especially vulnerable to the respiratory issues that follow. Direct Care Training’s Group Living Course #1213: Controlling Humidity to Prevent Microbial Growth in the Group Home teaches staff to catch it early.
The course covers the science of humidity and how excess moisture affects resident health, then walks through identifying high-risk areas — bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and HVAC systems — along with early signs of water damage and mold. It closes with practical strategies: dehumidifiers, ventilation, routine inspections, and choosing mold-resistant materials for furnishings and surfaces.
Part of Direct Care Training’s Michigan AFC CEU catalog, this course gives your team a clear checklist for keeping the home dry, healthy, and compliant — before a small leak becomes an expensive, dangerous problem.
