Care Home Name Labels for Residents

Moving into a care home can be a challenging transition for both residents and families, as you're adjusting to a new environment and being separated from loved ones. At My Nametags, we strive to bring a touch of joy and dignity to this transition. With our care home name labels, you can add a personal touch to your most valued belongings and achieve the feeling of having a home away from home!

HOW MIGHT CARE HOME NAME LABELS HELP RESIDENTS?

Independence For Loved Ones

Labels make it easy for loved ones to identify their belongings, giving them more control and independence.

Reduced Stress/Confusion

With labels attached to clothes, medication, and other personal items, they reduce the likelihood of mistaken identity and, thus, tend to reduce confusion.

Promoting Personal Identity

Our labels enable you or your relatives to identify items, which in turn help to keep track of belongings and to feel more at home.

Simplifying Daily Routines

Labels can simplify everyday tasks, such as choosing clothing or finding items, enabling residents to attend to their daily needs with less assistance.

MARGARET’S CARE HOME EXPERIENCE WITH NAME LABELS


Perfect for assisted living facilities

When Margaret arrived at her care facility, she wanted to adjust to the routine of her new home as quickly as possible. However, after only one week, things were not going as planned. One morning, she couldn’t find her slippers. Eventually, she realised that another resident had picked up her slippers by mistake. It wasn't the first time something had gone missing, as many of the residents had identical items that often got mixed up with each other’s belongings.

One day, her carer introduced her to a different approach: care home name labels. Having her name on all personal items, even her slippers, immediately made her feel a lot better. Margaret's mind was put at rest, knowing her possessions were safely identified.

With the personalised name labels, she was finally able to enjoy her new home without the constant fear of losing her things. To her, it was more than an organisational tool; it was a simple way to feel respected and keep her dignity.

Items that you or your loved ones might want to label

Typically, care homes would use labels for the oraganisation of clothes. However, labels can be used in so many other ways. You can mark your own things like medicine, helper tools, picture books, and storage areas. These tags help you keep an eye on your stuff, cut down on mix-ups, and keep your self-respect in a place where you live with others.

How to Apply Iron-On Labels

Step 1

Step 1: Place the label on the garment

Remove the iron-on labels from the transparent backing sheet and place the clothing label on the desired place of the garment.

Step 2

Step 2: Heat the iron to maximum garment temperature

Place the silicone paper over the label and heat the iron (with the steam setting turned off) to the maximum temperature the garment is able to sustain.

Step 3

Step 3: Hold the iron in place for 8-15 seconds

Hold the iron in place for 8-15 seconds. After this, check if the label has completely stuck; if it has not, hold the iron for a few more seconds.

Step 4

Step 4: Wait 24 hours before washing the garment

Once the previous steps are complete, avoid washing the garment with the newly applied iron-on label for at least 24 hours.
