Rockwood South Hill’s Healthcare Activities Manager approached the Foundation with a proposal to replace traditional bib-style clothing protectors with scarf-style clothing protectors for memory care residents. The Foundation approved the purchase, recognizing the potential to improve both comfort and dignity for those who use them.

Residents and caregivers quickly noted that the scarf-style protectors provided greater coverage for spills while being more comfortable, stylish, and discreet than traditional bib-style protectors.

Following an overwhelmingly positive response from residents and staff, Rockwood expanded the program and purchased scarf-style protectors for all residents in Assisted Living and the Atrium (Skilled Nursing).
