Where Hygiene Belongs
Belong Warrington are placing safety first in a bid to deliver the highest standards of hygiene. Tomorrow’s Care finds out more about the Belong Group’s operation in their Warrington branch.
Staff working in a care home environment are constantly tasked to deliver the highest of standards when it comes to hygiene. Belong Warrington are illustrating how a successfully-managed laundry system can play a vital part in the infection control process.
The Belong Group is part of CLS Care Services Ltd, a large provider of dementia-specialist care homes in the North West of the UK. Built in the summer of 2014, Belong Warrington is a £9.5 million state- of-the-art care village, home to 72 residents, comprising 18 independent
- 24 -
living apartments. With a bistro, spa, hair salon, events venue and even a gym, there is a whole manner of facilities available to residents and the local community. Organised days out, activities, and parties, give the residents opportunities to socialise and be entertained within the safety and comfort of their own home.
No Barriers Instead of counting on unreliable equipment, Belong Warrington is able to allow every one of its residents and their families the assurance that comes with a state- of-the-art barrier laundry system — a
suite of technologies designed and laid out to completely avoid any risk of bacterial contamination.
The main laundry comprises of two Electrolux Professional WB5180H Barrier Washing Machines; each of which sits between the laundry’s pre-wash and post-wash areas. This ensures that items are loaded from one side of the machine when dirty and unloaded from a separate, clean side, when the cycle has finished – allowing operators to make sure that there is no chance of re-contamination.
