Benefits

How Gericare Australia’s clothing can help

Our clothing is designed to help:

• Make dressing easier

• Reduce the need for manual handling.

• Reduce the risk of staff back and shoulder injuries

• Assist in the implementation of continence management programs.

• Make the toileting task easier

• Clothes slip on from a lying down or a seated position.

• Reduce the laundry cost (by design, clothes are less likely to get soiled around the incontinence pad area)

• Open back garments are generously overlapped at the back to ensure full dignity.

• Reduce the risk of skin tears inflicted by using regular clothes.

• Take the pain away of dressing and undressing.

• Reduce the difficulties in dressing and undressing residents who are physically challenged (stroke, paralysed) or suffer from dementia.

• Loose fitting outfits and more comfortable.

• Larger armholes are less likely to cause skin tears and bruising

• Openback garments eliminate the need to raise the arms to get the garment on over the head or rotate the arms to get into a sleeve.

• Promote ease of movement for physically or mentally challenged people
