TENA for care homes

At TENA, we understand that each situation and individual is unique and for us, individualised care is key. This means providing products and care routines that are tailored for each resident, as well as your work environment. By partnering with you, we support you in delivering rewarding continence care that improves your residents’ quality of life, and the efficiency of your care home.

Identifying individual needs - We provide you with tools to help you assess each of your residents’ individual care needs, so that you can offer the right care for each person; care that is personal, dignified and efficient.

Care plans that are tailored to the needs of your residents are a vital part of optimal continence care. Our support tools help you to design individualised care routines, involving product usage, toilet routines and healthy skincare regimen. Individualised plans not only improve the quality of life for your resident, but also support the efficiency of your staff and working environment.

Sustained improvements - To ensure that improvements in your care home are sustained year upon year, we offer a range of tools to measure and evaluate the success of our solutions. We help you to continuously evaluate your budget based on incontinence-related costs, as well as providing tools to measure improvements in your residents’ skin health, and your residents’ and staff’s satisfaction.

In order to achieve best results for your care home, we develop the following strategies:

• Individualised care plans

We partner with you to create tailored continence care plans that support product selection for need, product changes, toileting routines and personal hygiene. As part of a best-practice continence care plan, we address daily care, skincare and night-time care from the perspective of both your resident and your staff.

Our online and in-person training modules support your staff in adopting new routines, and we offer practical guidance¹ on how to implement best-practice within your working environment. 

• Care home management support

We offer evaluation and financial support tools to assess quantitative and qualitative improvements within your care home. Our solutions are designed to support the day-to-day logistics of delivering effective and efficient care, and are tailored to the individual needs of your working environment.

By offering guidance on product selection and ordering, training for your staff, and individualised care plans that support best-practice; we help to reduce product consumption and time spent on incontinence-related tasks, ultimately improving your budget.
