Don Powell
Project Manager for Sherrill House

For Sherrill House, designing an ideal laundry room that would run smoothly and efficiently allowed this independent, not-for-profit nursing home facility to increase its resident capacity from 164 beds to 196 beds, while saving money through the improved operational efficiency of its new on-premises laundry.

"Whenever we start a new project, we find a good distributor," said Don Powel, project manager for Sherrill House. "Our UniMac distributor was great when it came to designing a laundry room that met our expectations."

Sherrill House previously had two 50-lb washer-extractors and three 50-lb commercial tumble dryers to process the soiled linen for its then 164-bed facility, and its laundry operated 160 hours per week. Today, it has two 60-lb washer-extractors, one 100-lb washer-extractor, three 75-lb commercial tumble dryers and a 120-lb tumbler for its renovated 196-bed facility. This has reduced the laundry's operation to 120 hours per week, saving the facility the cost of one full-time position.

It was by combining the proper equipment mix with a higher extraction speed that Sherrill House was able to cut 40 hours a week from its labor schedule--despite the increased laundry demands of adding 32 beds and the switch to reusable incontinence products.
