Benefits for carers and families
When a loved one is in care, or you’re looking after them at home, the last thing you want is for them to feel stress or discomfort when dressing or undressing.
The Petal Back Clothing range is specifically designed to be worn by people:
- with limited mobility due to disability, age or injury
- who may need to spend long periods of time seated or in bed
- who use continence aids
- who live with dementia or Alzheimer’s and may resist help in dressing.
Dignity and care
For many people, the adjustment from independence to care can be difficult. Our goal is to provide clothing that looks as good as it feels.
Petal Back styles look the same as regular clothes from the front, while offering the patient dignity during the dressing and undressing process.
Even with a lifting aid such as a hoist, it’s easy to slide clothes on and off quickly.
For patients, this is a respectful solution for painless dressing and continence management.
Soft yet durable fabrics
Many of our customers are in residential aged care and we know how harsh the laundry process can be. We’ve tested our products so they are suitable for industrial washing machines. They can be washed over and over without losing their softness.
Each item even has a label where you can write their name to help their clothing return to the right room.
You can select products your family member is happy to wear, knowing they won’t be ruined after a couple of washes.
Specialised easy-on clothing
Adaptive clothing items have our unique Petal Back™ design – an opening at the back so they slide on without the need to roll or lift the wearer.
None of our products contain Velcro, buttons or studs so you’re not going to scratch or bruise skin that is easily hurt.
Even our seams are specially sewn to avoid any rough edges.
For extra comfort at night or when extra warmth is needed, our tops mix-and-match with our fleecy long or short ponchos or can be worn with a vest singlet underneath.
Petal Back Clothing’s adaptive trousers in styles for men and women are ideal for people wanting dignity and comfort.
Our open-back pants make it much easier for wearers and their carers to dress, undress or change continence aids.
Lower risk of accidental undressing
Sometimes, people with dementia or Alzheimer’s may undress themselves unintentionally.
To give you peace of mind when caring for someone, we created men’s and women’s all-in-one jumpsuits.
These anti-strip onesies – also known as dignity suits, sundowner suits or Alzheimer jumpsuits – are comfortable and designed to look like a top and pants.
