The Sveta Barbara nursing home, located in Kupljenovo near Zaprešić, offers luxurious accommodations for residents requiring various levels of care. Inspired by Western European nursing homes, it combines modern architecture with natural surroundings, providing high-quality living for up to one hundred residents, with thirty currently residing in the facility.

CHALLENGE: EFFICIENTLY MANAGING LARGE VOLUMES OF LAUNDRY

Before deciding to establish their own laundry facility, the Sveta Barbara nursing home relied on external laundry services. This required additional preparation, transportation of laundry to and from the facility, which was time-consuming and reduced efficiency. "I believe every home should have professional laundry equipment and invest in its own laundry facility. Previously, we used external laundry services, but it wasn't practical and took up a lot of time," says Martina Mišak Perić, the home's director.

SOLUTION: INVESTING IN A PROFESSIONAL LAUNDRY FACILITY


During the home's construction, space was allocated for a laundry facility, with additional installations for the equipment. They opted for professional LG washers and dryers due to their larger capacity and shorter wash cycles, enabling the processing of larger amounts of laundry in less time. "In the two months we've had the equipment, we've been very satisfied. It saves time, the cycles are shorter, and it’s important to us to wash as much as possible in fewer loads," emphasizes the director.

RESULTS: INCREASED EFFICIENCY AND COST SAVINGS


By implementing an in-house laundry facility, the Sveta Barbara nursing home has achieved significant savings in time and costs. The professional washing machines with larger drums allow for washing more laundry at once, and the shorter wash cycles contribute to faster task completion. "In the end, it saves time and money. I believe every institution, if they have the space, should invest in their own laundry facility and professional equipment," concludes director Martina.

She further adds, "Moreover, professional equipment offers longer warranties and reliability, which is crucial for continuously providing high-quality service to the residents of the home."
