The Living Centre does have a laundry service, so if you wish us to take care of the laundry for the resident please let us know upon admission. If the resident wishes family or a caregiver to handle laundering their items please let us know upon admission so staff can have a sign placed in the room to notify housekeeping of this choice. We do recommend a laundry hamper for the resident’s clothes and that family or caregiver pick up the clothing twice per week to keep up with health and sanitary practices. In accordance with guidelines personal clothing is washed in an industrial washing machine at a temperature of 180 degrees. We ask that the residents clothing is appropriate for washing and drying in these hot temperatures. Avoid clothing that requires special care, or is subject to damage and fading. All clothing must be labeled with resident name, please do not label with initials or room number to prevent confusion. It is best to mark in large, clear letters on the inside neckline or waistband. All items must be marked including socks, shoes, and other personal items.
