SALT LAKE CITY – Two nursing homes near Salt Lake City are installing an air purifying system that can get rid of COVID-19.

The Ridge Foothill and Cottonwood COO, Mandy Hampton, said the machines use needlepoint ionization technology, which sends millions of ions into the air.

“And they seek out bad particles in the air. That could be COVID[-19], it could be norovirus, the flu, smog,” Hampton says. “It attaches to these particles, and then it deactivates them.”

After testing the system at a sister facility in Denver, the machines were found to be 99.4% effective at killing COVID-19.

“Once we found this technology, we realized that this is an investment long-term in the health and safety of our residents and staff members. Our demographic is typically in the mid-80s,” Hampton said. “So, COVID[-19], if it takes hold in a residence, it can be very, very serious.”

Hampton said they had looked at UV light machines, but that using ions to purify the air is more effective. The air purifiers will also cost less over time because they do not need to be changed out as often.

However, the facilities are still spending $500,000 to install them.

Nursing homes have been the source of major outbreaks of COVID-19 across the country, as well as a large chunk of deaths. Many scientists think ventilation systems play a role.

Beyond COVID-19, Hampton believes purifying the air will help nursing home residents in the years to come.

“Being able to have this tool in our toolbox, it sets us up for success for anything that comes in the future. We know that norovirus happens every year, the flu happens every year. So, regardless of COVID[-19], this is the right thing to do for the staff and residents,” Hampton said
