Hi Joe,
It is so that they can use plates and cutlery and then wash them in the dishwasher to be used by other patients in the facility.
I have expressed my concerns about this process in that it changes all the patients into household contacts but am lacking any real support to the recommendations I am providing.
Thanks Michael, my thoughts were the same
Lou

Hi Louise
What is the purpose of the dishwasher? Is it part of the rehabilitation program for patients?
Thanks
Joe

Hi all,
Currently we are involved in the development and building of a new rehab facility.
The issue surrounding placing domestic dishwashers in the patients dining room/pantry area has arisen. I have expressed concerns around this.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience, info, supporting documentation that they could share with me.
Many thanks in advance
Louisa
