Sharing results of project with community. <br /> <br />This information will be shared in a summary of the <br />project with local health care facilities such as hospitals, nursing <br />homes, and clinics. An attempt will be made to have the local <br />newspaper and TV stations do a community interest story about <br />the results. This information will also be shared with our sister <br />facilities in Denver and Pueblo. Assistance will be provided to <br />any of these facilities concerning a similar project. <br /> <br />QUESTION 4; Innovative features of project and other benefits <br />to the agency. <br /> <br />Other than water and energy savings, infrared automatic <br />faucets would benefit the agency staff and clients in several ways: <br /> <br />1. Handwashing would be more hygienic as faucets would <br />never have to be touched. <br /> <br />2. Running water would be more accessible when one hand <br />is needed to support the client and the other hand has a <br />toothbrush, washcloth or other object. <br /> <br />3. The faucets are handicapped accessible. <br /> <br />4. Sink overflow would be eliminated at times when a client <br />turns faucets on but does not turn them off. <br /> <br />5. Water and energy conservation are becoming a necessity. <br />The GJRC, with the frequency of handwashing, could <br />save a substantial amount of water and energy. <br /> <br />Page 8 <br />
