Opelika, Ala. (Nov. 2025) — At The Harbor at Opelika, the health and safety of our residents and team members is our highest priority. As part of our commitment to providing a clean, healthy, and supportive environment, we have replaced traditional cleaning chemicals with a safer, more sustainable solution.



The Harbor at Opelika has partnered with Viking Pure Solutions, a leader in non-toxic cleaning technologies, to bring innovative, hospital-grade cleaning and disinfecting to our community. Viking Pure installs on-site systems that generate powerful cleaning and disinfecting solutions using only salt, water, and electricity. This process creates electrolyzed water: a safe, fragrance-free, and highly effective alternative to conventional chemicals.

Unlike many commercial cleaning products, Viking Pure’s solutions are free from harmful ingredients linked to respiratory issues, endocrine disruption, and other health concerns that disproportionately affect older adults. Their disinfectant is EPA-registered as hospital grade and proven to kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including norovirus and COVID-19, without the risks associated with harsh chemicals.

Bryan Cook, Co-Founder and President of Legacy Senior Living, states, “Our residents deserve the safest environment possible. With Viking Pure, we’re not just cleaning, we’re protecting the people who call this community home, as well as the caregivers and staff who support them every day.”

In addition to enhancing safety, Viking Pure helps us reduce our environmental footprint. We now generate unlimited quantities of solution on-site, eliminating supply chain concerns and reducing waste from plastic bottles and chemical deliveries.

“This upgrade aligns with our mission of providing compassionate care in a safe, sustainable setting. Viking Pure’s system gives us confidence that we’re doing everything we can to promote wellness, without compromise,” says Barry Ray, Co-Founder and CEO of Legacy Senior Living.
