How do you get aides to give good peri care?

A few points:
We don't 'potty' our residents. They are NOT babies. We assist them to the toilet or change their brief.
Perhaps, if you are like my CNAs, the reason you're only allowed a few facecloths is that one of your coworkers either threw piles of them away or even worse flushed them (or tried to) down the toilet resulting in a hug bill from roto rooter and a huge bill.
Try a peri bottle with warm water or periwash.

CapeCodMermaid,
Thanks for the pointer on my grammar. We do not potty our residents either. The residents deserve more dignity than to be spoken to in such a manner and I would not dream of doing speaking to a resident in such a way. I will try to be more precise in my grammar in the future.

lol...I shouldn't talk. I re-read my post and I typed a hug bill...jeezlies peezlies....

How about popping in the room when they are doing it and "help" out. I do mean help and also observe and spot check them.

Make sure you place is supplying them with enough of the proper supplies to. Sometimes they feel like they have to ration the supplies. Not enough soap, rags etc.

As long as you all have enough supplies and resources then there is absolutely no excuse for not giving good peri-care. I will say as a side note that I do not really like using the pre-moistened wipes because I just don't think they do as good of a job as using good old soap, water and face cloths. Actually, when I wash up my patients I take a basin and put in my own mixture of peri-wash, soap and lotion which I mix together with hot water and it works really well and it smells pretty good too.
