A culture change is sweeping through long term care. It's about respect, dignity and individualized care. Where "the way we've always done it" is replaced by "how would you like us to do it?
It honors individuals-and all of us. Step-by-step, in little ways and big we're delivering better care, and granting more autonomy and confidence to our residents. Medline is a proud partner with you in this journey.

Culture change is a journey towards embracing care with respect to each individual's needs. We are all different. One size does not fit all. For years, residents who live with incontinence have been challenged with finding a product that keeps them dry, provides them the right fit, and delivers comfort and dignity to maintain a sense of normalcy and independence. We believe we can do better.
We know that your staff wants to do the right thing. But because they have not had a product that fits right, a culture has developed where patients are placed in larger briefs to accommodate bigger thighs. While this solves one problem, it has potential to create others: leakage, odor, compromised skin integrity, discomfort, loss of confidence, and escalating costs. We know we can do better. We understand your mission today is to provide greater care, and ensure exceptional staff satisfaction, while meeting your financial goals. Others continue to downgrade performance to help you meet those goals. We have designed a product that fits both your care and cost objectives. Asking the resident to fit into institutional schedules or routines is the old way; adapting to fit individual needs is the new way.
