Why Washable Incontinence Pads are the Best for Retirement Centers & Hospitals?

Canada is a country where the public and private sectors have invested heavily in senior care. This mindset of providing a secure welfare setup leads to instilling the idea of delivering comfort and care. Healthcare linens by Bloom Linen play a direct role in the visualization of this idea and ensuring comfort.  

Senior care in retirement centers requires a careful selection of linens. Professionals working in this environment pay close attention to the quality of linens they procure for their organization.  

An incontinence pad is one such healthcare linen that plays a direct role in the deliverance of care & comfort. This blog by Bloom Linen explains how washable adult incontinence pads can be an addition to hospital bed linens and perfect for retirement centers. 

Incontinence Related Challenges in Healthcare Institutions  

Healthcare institutions can face a number of challenges due to incontinence related challenges. These may include the following: 

Resident Dignity and Comfort 

Incontinence can be embarrassing for residents. If not managed well, it can lead to discomfort, skin irritation, or even emotional distress. Residents might feel ashamed, which can affect their social life and mental well-being. 

Skin Health Issues 

Prolonged exposure to urine or feces can cause skin breakdown, rashes, and pressure ulcers. These conditions can be painful and may lead to infections if not treated properly. 

Laundry and Hospital Linen Damage 

Improper or frequent washing of soiled linens can wear them out quickly. This raises replacement costs and can disrupt linen supply. Strong chemicals used to remove stains and odors can also shorten the life of textiles. 

Cost of Supplies 

Incontinence products like briefs, pads, wipes, and barrier creams are ongoing expenses. Using low-quality items may lead to leaks or frequent changes, while high-quality items can stretch the budget. 

Resident Resistance 

Some residents may resist help due to pride, memory loss, or confusion. This can lead to more accidents, making care harder for staff.

Protective pads for incontinence are a fantastic way of delivering care and ensuring that the residents and patients stay comfortable. But having a reusable and washable pad ensures that healthcare institutions have a cost-efficient product at hand as well.
