Hi Helen
We have successfully placed one in our older adult mental unit and happy to provide details privately of the product. This unit has a lot of older people with dementia and we have placed them at the entrance to the room rather than in the room. They have been in place for 5 years and we have had no issues. The company also provide a more secure unit for these types of situations.

Hello all
I wondered if anyone has specific research into the installation of wall mounted ABHR units in wings for residents with dementia. Much of the research or reported cases of people drinking ABHR relate to individual bottles of solution and not from wall mounted units. W are currently looking the installation across all of our units and wondered if anyone has undertaken a risk assessment of this or had experience/opinions of this. We naturally want to balance the safety risk for the confused resident with the risk of not have suitable hand hygiene methods available from an IPC perspective.
Kind regards,
Helen Finlay
