Mattress sanitation for assisted living, group homes and residential care

This hub is for assisted-living facilities, group homes and other residential care settings in Omaha, Lincoln and surrounding towns. It covers resetting mattresses between residents, pricing a multi-bed visit, what Nebraska rules say about beds and bedding, scheduling around residents, urine, a facility schedule, and keeping a record for each room.

Monday–Friday, 9am–6pm. Missed a call? We return calls and texts on Saturday and Sunday too.

Short answer

We clean and sanitize resident mattresses in place: HEPA vacuuming with UV-C, enzyme on urine, and low-moisture dry vapor steam with the surface verified at 212°F or higher with a temperature gun. Every mattress gets a Service Summary you can file by room. We recommend twice a year per bed plus every turnover. The first mattress is $199 Fall 2026 special (regularly $249), additional mattresses cost less, and recurring routes get partner rates.

Residential care runs on many beds and a steady flow of residents. This hub covers the mattress side of that work, for administrators, house managers and maintenance leads.

Turnover and pricing

Start with resetting the mattress between residents, then see how a multi-bed visit is priced.

Rules and records

What Nebraska rules say about resident beds and bedding and keeping per-room records with the Service Summary.

Running the visits

Group homes and DD residential settings, urine and incontinence, a twice-a-year schedule and working alongside your janitorial contractor.

For vetting questions, insurance and background checks, see our agency vendor guide. To start, visit agency partners.

Sleep Sanitation's position

This section is our view. Agencies that group visits by area are route-efficiency partners and get reduced agency rates: request agency rates. We carry a certificate of insurance, available on request, and run background checks under our hiring policy, including a national sex offender registry check. Sleep Sanitation serves Omaha, Lincoln and surrounding towns. Every visit includes dry vapor steam with the mattress surface verified at 212°F or higher with a temperature gun, HEPA vacuuming, UV-C light treatment and a moisture check before we leave. Allow 1–2 hours per mattress. Our technician removes the mattress protector during the visit and leaves a one-time supply of special detergent sheets for washing it. Enzyme treatment is used on urine. Every visit ends with a Service Summary, and a copy can go to the agency with the client's or family's permission. The first mattress is $199 Fall 2026 special (regularly $249); additional mattresses in the same visit are $199 for a king or California king, $179 for a full or queen and $149 for a twin or kids bed. Severe soiling carries a surcharge, disclosed before any work starts. Call or text (402) 512-5658, or email info@sleepsanitation.com.
