Facility management essentials for long-term care

The implementation of effective organization and identification practices is an essential part of managing a high quality long-term care facility.

These practices not only help to facilitate a safe, comfortable environment for the residents, but they also create a more welcoming environment for families, guests, and staff.

Labelling and badging products play an important role in many aspects of a long-term care facility’s organization and identification practices. They help ensure that the right people are onsite, help prevent mealtime and laundry mix-ups, and can simplify daily tasks like scheduling, communications, and more!

Here is a look at 6 facility management essentials that can be found on avery.ca or in stores.

Dissolvable Labels

Dissolvable labels are an ideal option for application to reusable and recyclable containers. Use them during food prep and storage, as well as for tracking and temporarily labelling reusable surfaces, containers, bottles, vials and medical instruments. When the labels are no longer needed, simply wash them away under warm water or in the dishwasher. They disappear completely without leaving any sticky residue!

No-Iron Fabric Labels

Easily identify clothing, sheets, medical storage pouches and other fabric items with No-Iron Fabric labels. These labels stick reliably without the application of heat, and can be applied to a variety of fabrics. Labels are washing machine and dryer safe.

Removable Vinyl Labels

Add signage to tables, metal surfaces, mirrors, glass door and windows with Removable Vinyl Labels, available in round and rectangle shapes. Use these labels to alert staff, residents, and families to upcoming events, or to post important facility information. The labels are durable and washable, but can be removed cleanly without residue when no longer needed.

Colour Coding and File Folder Labels

Keep track of files, employee schedules, resident information and more with the effective combination of Colour Coding Dots and File Folder Labels. When used together, these two label types can create an efficient, at-a-glance information organization system. On their own, they make it easy to locate files, callout important information and more!

Available in coordinating colours and perfect for use on folders, white boards, laminated lists, and much more!
