Stainless Steel ID Bracelets Ideal for Long Term Care Residents

September 12th, 2015

One of the challenges facing staff in a long term care environment is easily identifying residents, their disabilities and conditions, and those residents requiring special care. Proper identification of residents is also a key requirement when administering medication. It is also critical to easily identify residents who are at risk of wandering out of the care facility. 

Stainless steel ID bracelets have long provided nursing homes and long term care facilities a functional, cost effective and reliable way of easily identifying residents, their disabilities and special conditions.  They also provide a simple and elegant way to meet care home accreditation standards for resident/ patient identification.

Using stainless steel provides an attractive, non-institutional looking bracelet for residents that is more durable and comfortable than other materials such as plastic or vinyl.  Stainless steel does not discolor or fade with use and/or wear out, and bracelets made of stainless steel are easy to clean and can be washed using a commercial washer or sanitized using an autoclave. 

Browels’ Quality ID Bracelets Tailored to Care Home Requirements

Browels ID Solutions has been providing custom stainless steel ID bracelets to long term care homes across Canada and in the USA for over 30 years.  Browels ID bracelets, which look very much like a piece of jewelry, are comfortable to wear and simple for LTC staff to attach to each resident while being difficult for residents to remove.

Sample ID Bracelet

    

All Browels stainless steel bracelets include a stainless steel tag, chain and sister hook clasp.  Each bracelet tag is engraved with the specific information required by the LTC home – this could be as simple as the resident’s name and facility name and/or include the specific disabilities or any medications the resident has or requires. To maximize comfort bracelets are fitted to meet each resident’s wrist size - either through a generic male/female sizing or based on exact measurements provided by LTC staff.

Browels takes special care in constructing each bracelet ensuring that all engraving is checked to make sure it matches the resident’s particulars as specified by the care home, and that all tags, chains and clasps are properly assembled and fitted.
