There are currently CMP grant funds to help nursing facilities improve indoor air quality. We want to make sure you take advantage of the opportunity and have worked with a partner to make it an easy process for you. Since funds will likely be eliminated on May 11th, it is critical that you act quickly.
While you can apply for these funds on your own (using any qualifying products you choose) we have partnered with Violett to take the hassle out of the application and documentation process for you. This partnership means you can apply to receive the Violett portable UVC air disinfection technology, a product that meets the CMP fund criteria. More information on the Violett product is included below.
If you are interested in applying to receive the Violett Air Disinfection unit at no cost to you, please reply to nicole@leadingagekansas.org with the following:

The Violett unit that was developed to combat Covid-19 in elder care facilities in Washington state played a crucial role in its design and testing. The unit has been tested and proven to kill 99.9999% of Covid-19 surrogate virus MS2 in just 30 minutes. To learn more about the product or company click here and view the product and data documents.
Once you have sent the information to nicole@leadingagekansas.org, LeadingAge Kansas and our partner Violett will take care of everything. Violett has experience in working with CMP funds to help nursing homes get units. They recently partnered with LeadingAge Washington to get units for over 70 organizations through the CMP fund. The feedback from facilities that have used Violett has been overwhelmingly positive. For example, one facility shared that within six hours of using Violett’s odor-eliminating nanotechnology, a long-term smell due to chronic incontinence issues was completely eradicated. Another facility used their Violett in a high-traffic area during a small outbreak, and five days later, no other patients or staff had fallen ill. Lastly, a CCRC effectively employed Violett to eliminate all traces of odor and purify the air following an apartment fire.
