HIQA-Compliant Healthcare Cleaning Across County Meath
County Meath has a comprehensive healthcare infrastructure serving a population of over 200,000 residents. Anchored by Our Lady's Hospital Navan — the county's main acute hospital — the healthcare network extends across primary care centres in Navan, Ashbourne, Trim, and Kells, dozens of GP surgeries and dental practices, pharmacies in every town, and a significant number of nursing homes and residential care facilities. Every one of these settings demands healthcare cleaning that meets the exacting standards set by HIQA (Health Information and Quality Authority) and the HSE's infection prevention and control guidelines.
Optus Glean provides specialist healthcare cleaning for medical facilities of every type across County Meath. Our operatives are trained in HIQA National Standards, infection prevention and control (IPC) protocols, colour-coded cleaning systems, clinical waste management, and the sensitive requirements of working in environments where patient dignity and safety are paramount. Every operative is Garda vetted, and we maintain full documentation for HIQA inspections and audit purposes.
Healthcare Facilities We Clean in Meath
Our Lady's Hospital Navan
Our Lady's Hospital Navan is the primary acute hospital serving County Meath and parts of the wider North-East region. The hospital provides emergency department services, surgical and medical inpatient care, maternity services, diagnostic imaging, and outpatient clinics. Healthcare cleaning in an acute hospital setting requires the highest standards of infection prevention and control. Our teams are trained in terminal cleaning, enhanced cleaning during outbreaks, operating theatre cleaning protocols, and the specific requirements of clinical areas including wards, treatment rooms, diagnostic areas, and public spaces. We also clean the healthcare offices, consulting rooms, and administrative areas in the hospital campus area.
Primary Care Centres Across Meath
Meath's primary care centres are the backbone of community healthcare in the county. Navan Primary Care Centre serves the county town and surrounding areas, providing a hub for GP services, public health nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, and mental health services. Ashbourne Primary Care Centre serves one of the fastest-growing communities in the county. Trim Primary Care Centre and Kells Primary Care Centre provide similar multi-disciplinary services to their respective catchment areas. These multi-practitioner facilities require daily cleaning with enhanced infection control protocols for clinical areas, careful management of shared waiting rooms and reception areas, and documented cleaning schedules for HIQA compliance.
Optus Glean provides tailored cleaning contracts for each primary care centre, with separate specifications for clinical and non-clinical areas. Our primary care centre contracts start from €800 per month.
Nursing Homes and Residential Care
County Meath has a significant number of nursing homes and residential care facilities serving an ageing population.

Nursing home cleaning is subject to HIQA registration and inspection, with specific standards for infection prevention and control, environmental cleanliness, and waste management. Our nursing home cleaning teams understand the unique requirements of residential care: working quietly and respectfully around residents, maintaining dignity and privacy, managing laundry and linen protocols, and responding quickly to spillages and incidents. We provide daily cleaning of all resident bedrooms, communal lounges, dining rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and clinical rooms.
GP Surgeries and Medical Practices
Meath's towns and villages are served by dozens of GP surgeries and medical practices. From single-practitioner surgeries in smaller towns to large multi-GP practices in Navan, Ashbourne, and Trim, every surgery requires professional cleaning that meets medical standards. Our GP surgery cleaning includes waiting room and reception maintenance, consultation room cleaning between sessions, treatment room decontamination, washroom sanitisation, and clinical waste area management. GP surgery contracts in Meath typically cost €250 to €450 per month depending on the number of consulting rooms and patient throughput.
