Weighted Blankets for use in dementia-specific units

[Marcia Ingles (Hunter New England LHD)]

Hi,

Has anyone had experience with using weighted blankets in dementia-specific units of hospitals/RACFs? My specific question is around the cleaning of blankets intended for use by multiple patients. Does anyone have a Policy, procedure or guideline that you refer to in such instances? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Kind regards,
Marcia Ingles.
