What exactly are Personal Care Wipes?
Personal Care Wipes are pre-moistened, disposable wipes used for personal hygiene purposes. Touch Point manufactures both Personal Care Washcloths and Personal Care Wipes. Both have many benefits for both staff and residents of long-term care homes and are vital for maintaining hygiene, comfort, and skin health.
Personal Care Washcloths are perfect for use in resident rooms. These extra-large wipes measure 8” x 12” and are thicker than traditional wipes. Use to wash all parts of the body, including perineal care.
Personal Care Wipes are ideally used in dining areas of long-term care homes to quickly and effectively clean hands and faces after each meal.
Both of these gentle skin care products are:
- Fragrance-free and alcohol-free.
- Extremely convenient; cleaning, moisturizing, and soothing in a single step.
- Enriched with a moisturizing formula containing Vitamin E and Aloe Vera.
- Non-irritating and created for all skin types.
What are the advantages of using Personal Care Washcloths rather than traditional washcloths?
- Prevents cross contamination – Wipes are single use and disposable.
- Cuts down on clean-up time – No rinsing is required, which can go a long way to preserving the resident’s dignity and decreasing the time it takes staff to complete this task.
- Cost effective – Saves on labour costs as well as the expense of soap, wash basins, dry wipes, and lotion.
How can I establish a Personal Wipes Station within long-term care homes?
