Currently Beckley Farm Lodge has one washing machine to handle the laundry needs of 64 residents, day program clients, and staff. Since the start of the pandemic, laundry has increased by 15%. This is due in part to increased cleaning measures put in place by provincial Health Orders.
The increased volume means healthcare workers have to take time away from residents to ensure laundry is completed. Staff shortages combined with enhanced safety measures create mounting pressure to purchase this essential piece of equipment that isn’t covered by government funding.
An industrial 55-pounds-per-load washing machine, with installation and construction costs, is $45,500!
Your donation today will help lighten the ‘load’ at Beckley Farm Lodge!.
