Are pajamas necessary for residents in care facilities? How to choose comfortable care clothing for 24-hour care.

"If I'm going into a care facility, do I need pajamas?" — This is a question we often receive. At home, many people change clothes for daytime and nighttime, but some facilities adopt a lifestyle where residents sleep in their daytime clothes and change on bathing days. Therefore, it's important not only to separate pajamas from daytime clothes, but also to consider clothing that allows for 24-hour comfort.

Comfort that you can only wear all day long.

• soft fabric
• Less constricting
• Easy to move in
• Easy to change clothes

It might be easier to understand if you imagine soft, comfortable clothing that you'd want to wear on a relaxing day off at home. Some people change into pajamas every day, while others sleep in their daytime clothes; there's no right or wrong answer, what's important is that the person feels comfortable.

Before preparing your clothing, we recommend checking the lifestyle at your prospective facility. If you're unsure, please feel free to contact us.
