It's a dog wash!

Cypress Health Region - Palliser Regional Care Centre

Back in the good old days, when we were able to provide our residents with a 'real' home life experience, we also used to provide laundry service in-house. There used to be a separate bag for BM (means: 'bowel movement') cloths and these did not get mixed in with the cloths we used to wash our residents.

Now the separate bag concept does not work with our Regina laundry system: so chances are that the wash cloth we use to wash a residents face today was used on someone else's backside a day or two earlier. Isn't that disgusting?

We refer to the good old days because this was avoided and we were usually NEVER short of laundry supplies. Now it is routine that we are short of supplies including...bibs, nighties, towels, facecloths, sheets & soakers.

Another Senior Management efficiency!
