reduction of smells in aged care facilities

[Tookie]

I have posted this in other areas - l am hoping to try and find some information on the following would appreciate your input.

Where l currently work we have a system of reducing the associated smells of urine and feaces that can be common in aged care settings and nursing homes.

We would like to research and evaulate other systems that people use to reduce any smells

I was wondering if any of you in this forum have any site you can recommend to read about methods of reducing the smells associated with this problem.

Thanking you in advance

Our biggest problem has been staff -they will take a resident out of a soiled bed to go to the bathroom for a shower and leave the linens lying across bed as they were found .....They often leave soiled incontinence briefs on the bathroom floor while doing changes or throw in the trash cans in the bathrooms and resident's rooms and "forget" to bag them up when finished....It only takes a moment to dispose of these items properly....and it sure makes for a much more pleasant environment for all of us........
