The Most Comprehensive Testing, Monitoring, and Security System Specifically Designed for Coronavirus Detection and Suppression in Nursing Homes

The COVID Tracking Project said that although fewer than 1% of U.S. residents live in nursing homes, these facilities account for 40% of the nation’s COVID-19 deaths. As of November 17, more than 94,000 Americans have died at long-term care facilities.

Only nursing homes which are acting quickly to keep their resident population protected from coronavirus will remain open. Ensuring the health and safety of nursing home residents demands more than sporadic testing alone.

Sequential Coronavirus Testing for Nursing Home Residents

A safe, caring environment is one of the greatest benefits of nursing homes. The infection rate and mortality rate of COVID-19 poses a very serious threat to senior citizens, necessitating social distancing and quarantines which prevent nursing home residents from direct interaction. This not only makes nursing homes less enjoyable for the residents, but it also eliminates personal independence, increases the risk of depression and anxiety, and suppresses the immune system.

GENETWORx is working to restore the quality of life, health, and personal independence of senior citizens living in nursing homes. Through sequential testing for population management, GENETWORx provides the world’s most effective and minimally invasive testing, monitoring, and security protocol specifically developed for nursing homes.

GENETWORx empowers nursing homes to quickly identify and suppress the coronavirus, allowing residents to feel safe and comfortable every day.

Taking Care of Your
Healthcare Heroes Too

When evaluating the probability of COVID-19 infection, the staff at nursing homes are working in the most at-risk field in the world. It is understandable that many of these staff members are fearful for their own lives as well as the lives of their loved ones, causing many of these hard-working people to consider quitting their job.

GENETWORx is committed to protecting the health and well-being of every essential employee at nursing homes. With GENETWORx, you receive a testing system designed for employees and staff at nursing homes, and workers can take comfort in knowing that everyone they come in contact with on the job–including visitors, doctors, and colleagues–have already passed rigorous screening protocols.

GENETWORx ensures management and leadership will receive immediate notice whenever a positive COVID-19 test has been processed and will have instructions on how to quickly initiate safety protocols to prevent an outbreak.

The GENETWORx security integration will also prevent any non-residents or staff who are untested or coronavirus-positive from entering the facility or coming in contact with residents or other staff members.

Nursing homes outfitted with the proprietary GENETWORx ‘Secure Program’ are transformed into one of the safest and most secure places to work. GENETWORx keeps essential workers and their families healthy from the coronavirus.

Keeping Family Members Informed of Their Loved One’s Nursing Home’s COVID-19 Status

Fears over a coronavirus outbreak inside a nursing home are not limited to the residents and workers inside the facility. Families all over the country are worried about parents and grandparents who are dependent on nursing home care.

The instant-reporting and suppression protocol developed by GENETWORx specifically for nursing home residents and their families alleviates the anxiety around COVID-19. Nursing homes partnering with GENETWORx can automatically and immediately send notice of a positive COVID-19 test, the steps being taken to suppress an outbreak, and any additional precautionary testing required.

GENETWORx has received FDA emergency use authorization to send self-collected diagnostic COVID-19 Nasal Swab Test Kits to the homes, or location of choice, of eligible adults.  With GENETWORx by your side, loved ones of residents can obtain and self-collect convenient, accurate COVID-19 tests in the safety of their homes, and ensure they receive COVID-19 negative results before visiting your facility.

Nursing Home FAQs

GENETWORx currently offers the nasopharyngeal test. The nasopharyngeal test has 99% specificity and sensitivity.

GENETWORx meets or exceeds state and federal regulations, keeping your nursing home on the cutting edge for identifying and suppressing the spread of COVID-19.

GENETWORx has developed an FDA-approved shallow-nasal swab which will be far more comfortable for patients. This test is currently undergoing further development to ensure it is just as accurate as the deep nasal swab.

Yes! Sequential testing involves every person who may enter your nursing home. Staff, doctors, nurses, delivery persons, shuttle drivers, regularly visiting family members, and more will all be incorporated into the sequential testing population.

However, even if the population of your specific nursing home is very confined and very small, sequential testing is still more effective than one-day bulk-testing dates.

Lastly, sequential testing is less prone to wide-sweeping human error or batch errors in the testing process. This helps avoid the need to retest people.

No. Many medical experts believe a vaccine for COVID-19 will do more to suppress the symptoms of the virus rather than eliminate the infection altogether. Symptoms of COVID-19 will also likely experience varying degrees of severity from one person to the next, meaning a vaccine won’t be as effective for every person equally. Just like the flu, COVID-19 will be a somewhat common and very serious ailment every year and, because senior citizens are most susceptible, your nursing home should be implementing long-term testing and suppression protocols.

No. Based on the current infection-rate of COVID-19, the difference between daily bulk-testing for the entire population is statistically insignificant from sequential testing. Even hourly bulk-testing would not yield results fast enough to prove it could catch instances of COVID-19 any faster than sequential testing.

GENETWORx’s sequential testing for population management adds integrated security to your nursing home to significantly improve the effectiveness of the sequential testing and immediately suppress the risk of outbreak should a resident or staff member test positive for COVID-19

GENETWORx is currently developing a rapid on-site test that will allow residents to know within minutes if they are currently infected with COVID-19. You will automatically receive this test as soon as it is available if your nursing home is partnered with GENETWORx.

GENETWORx will immediately and on and ongoing basis provide your nursing home with the most effective and fastest tests on the market, allowing you to feel safe and comfortable every day.

The beauty of the GENETWORx sequential testing and security program is in its simplicity. By integrating GENETWORx’s proprietary software, Aura, with your nursing home’s existing security systems, you will notice minimal change to your daily life.

For the most part, your security badge will act as a key or “EZ-Pass” within your building, allowing you to move freely while reassuring you that every person in each room has been adequately tested before you enter. It’s a very easy-to-use and extremely effective means for mitigating your risk of contracting COVID-19.

Your state and federal government will have regulations for non-resident testing which will be strictly implemented for every employee, visitor, staff member, doctor, nurse, and orderly inside your nursing home.

GENETWORx will work with your specific nursing home to build the most comprehensive testing standards for commuters and non-residents to mitigate the risks of COVID-19 entering your nursing home and spreading throughout the population.

GENETWORx provides the world’s most accurate COVID-19 test kits and ensures immediate and ongoing COVID-19 testing compliance. Once GENETWORx integrates with your nursing home, you will have the best and most comprehensive sequential testing for population management and fully-integrated security protocols that will help keep every resident, employee, safe and healthy.

Employees will be notified within seconds of GENETWORx processing a positive COVID-19 test via our proprietary Aura software and smartphone application. Aura will also work with employees to coordinate the appropriate response to a positive test, immediately initiating protocols to suppress the spread of COVID-19.

GENETWORx is committed to protecting America’s essential workers inside nursing homes every day and we will continuously evolve to provide the most cutting-edge testing and security protocols. With GENETWORx, every nursing home employee will feel safe to return to work.

GENETWORx coordinates with the security system in your nursing home via proprietary computer software called Aura. Optionally, Aura can be installed on a cellular smartphone and act as a security clearance badge. However, if you do not have a smartphone or don’t wish to use a phone for security clearance, a traditional badge can be used just as easily. The staff of your nursing home will help you obtain and use your security badge on-site should you need it.
