JUNE 2008 - MAXIMISING CLIENT DIGNITY
Efficient use of Government funding has enabled one nursing home to maximise effectiveness of resources whilst optimising client dignity...
Bonaer Nursing Home in Hayle, Cornwall, has a strategic aim to optimise dignity and choice for its clients, and has used a successful application for a Dignity in Care grant to invest in improved personal hygiene facilities, including the installation of a complete wetroom with Clos-o-Mat Palma automatic bidet toilet.
“The staff are very impressed, and the clients love it- even our most disabled! We’ve not had one complaint! I had seen literature and a demonstration on the Clos-o-Mat and thought it a great idea; the Dignity in Care grant gave us the opportunity to turn our ambition into reality,” says Tony Metalle, owner of Bonaer.
Previously, the care home for 31 residents had a conventional bathroom with a Parker bath and traditional WC. Using the grant funding, the Parker bath has been relocated to another bathroom, and a complete wetroom with wheel-in shower, bath and Clos-o-Mat installed. “We’ve in effect got two new bathrooms, which improves choice for our clients, and enables them to undertake more of their personal hygiene needs in privacy,” adds Mr Metalle.
The Clos-O-Mat Palma combines conventional WC with an integral douche and drier. When ‘on’ the toilet, people use the toilet as normal, then trigger the strategically located flush paddles by hand or body pressure. This flushes the toilet, then operates a douche and drier to consecutively wash and dry the bottom. It thoroughly cleanses without the use of toilet paper, eliminating hand:body contact and reducing risk of germ transfer, and carer involvement in cleansing.
Manufactured in the UK by Total Hygiene, the Clos-o-Mat Palma forms part of a comprehensive range of toileting aids to facilitate privacy and independence in personal hygiene, including toilet and shower lifters, body driers and a raft of support accessories. The Clos-0-Mat was the first automatic toilet in the market and is now the UK’s biggest-selling such unit, with over 30,000 units installed in locations ranging from individual’s homes to hospitals, hotels, nursing homes, shopping centres, tourist attractions and even on narrowboats. Total Hygiene provides a comprehensive sales, installation and after sales package, and offers a range of options to enable tailoring of each unit to individual requirements.
