Care homes and other healthcare providers are always in need of cleaning and hygiene products to keep their vulnerable charges safe and healthy, particularly with the spread of COVID-19 throughout the world. Baby Brands Direct offer a fantastic selection of hygiene products from Milton, one of the UK’s top cleaning brands.
After being created in the First World War, Milton’s formula has been used by healthcare professionals across the globe. Their portfolio of products has grown to include antibacterial sprays, gels and wipes - some of which are recommended by the World Health Organisation to stop the transmission of COVID-19. In 2021, they also introduced their Antibacterial Laundry Tablets, which are perfect for killing harmful bacteria in each wash.
Baby Brands Direct also stock thermometers and humidifiers, which may come in handy when residents and patients are unwell or in winter months when noses can become congested and sleeping becomes difficult. Some of our thermometers are contactless, which is important in stopping the transmission of harmful germs within vulnerable communities. To keep older residents warm and cosy, particularly in the winter months, we also have some shawls and blankets in neutral greys and creams. These blankets are created by British brand, Silvercloud, and are knitted from 100% cotton.
Keeping residents active and engaged is important, as this helps to keep their minds and bodies functioning properly. Baby Brands Direct have stock of popular games, such as UNO, Scrabble and Pictionary, which are perfect for encouraging social interaction in the residents’ coffee area as well as helping to retain cognitive skills and keeping fingers dexterous. Baby Brands Direct also have some jigsaw puzzles from Janod that may be suitable. These puzzles feature maps of the world, as well as endangered animals, that might be fun and engaging to put together.
For residents with dementia, soft toys and dolls may be beneficial to their overall welfare and comfort. Many dementia patients find that they are soothed and comforted by the presence of a soft animal or a plush doll, with the toy helping to bring out their caring nature and giving them a renewed sense of purpose. Baby Brands Direct have a great range of soft toys - from rag dolls to realistic animals, there is something for everyone. As they are designed for young children, there are no unsafe elements and they are made from lovely soft materials that are kind to delicate skin.
