Frequently Asked Questions

How often is laundry done in a care facility?
Laundry services are typically provided on a regular schedule, which may be weekly or more frequently, depending on the resident’s needs. Clothing, bed linens, towels, and other washable items are collected, washed, dried, folded, and returned to the resident’s room. Some residents may need daily laundry assistance, particularly those with incontinence or medical conditions that require frequent changes of clothing and bedding. The goal is to ensure that residents always have access to fresh, clean clothes and linens.
Are assisted living residents’ clothes washed separately or with others’ laundry?
In most care facilities, each resident’s laundry is washed separately to maintain hygiene and prevent mix-ups. This helps prevent cross-contamination, ensures personal belongings are handled properly, and maintains the integrity of residents’ clothing. Facilities take care to use gentle detergents and follow special washing instructions for delicate or sensitive fabrics. Laundry staff also label and track clothing items to ensure they are returned to the correct resident.
Do assisted living residents need to bring their own laundry detergent or fabric softener?
No, the facility typically provides all necessary laundry detergents, fabric softeners, and stain removers. However, if a resident has allergies or sensitivities to certain products, arrangements can be made to use hypoallergenic or fragrance-free detergents. Families can also provide their own detergent if they prefer a specific brand. The laundry staff ensures that all products used are safe and appropriate for the residents’ needs.
What happens if an assisted living resident’s clothing or bedding is damaged or lost during laundry?
While laundry staff take great care in handling personal items, mistakes can occasionally happen. If clothing is damaged or lost, the facility typically has a policy for replacing or reimbursing the resident. Labeling all clothing and bedding with the resident’s name can help prevent mix-ups. If a resident notices missing items, they should inform staff as soon as possible so that the issue can be resolved promptly.
Can assisted living residents do their own laundry if they prefer?
Some facilities allow residents to do their own laundry if they are physically able and prefer to maintain their independence. In such cases, a designated laundry area may be available for use. However, for residents who require assistance or those with mobility limitations, staff are always available to handle laundry needs. Facilities prioritize safety, so if a resident is at risk of falls or injury while doing laundry, caregivers may provide supervision or take over the task entirely.
