Laundry

Trusted laundry equipment for social care  

Care home laundry equipment plays a vital role in safety and hygiene by cleaning and disinfecting care home clothing, PPE, bedding and linen, cutting the risks of cross-infection, and helping to protect your residents and staff. 

At JLA, we supply and maintain a full range of Care Quality Commission-compliant, WRAS-approved and highly energy-efficient commercial washers and tumble dryers. These medical-grade systems come in capacities from 18kg right up to 180kg, and are designed to handle high volumes of nursing home laundry while also reducing your running costs.

As well as being robust enough to perform cycle after cycle, often around the clock, our care home laundry machines are also simple and intuitive to use, offering intelligent programming for the best results. So, you and your teams can spend less time in the laundry room, and more time caring for your residents.  

JLA SMART Washer

Laundry and infection control solutions

JLA designs, installs and maintains a range of CQC-compliant equipment including washers and dryers. Take an extra load off your mind.
SMART Washers

Our washers pack in intelligent sensors that calculate water and detergent use by linen weight. They’re also compatible with OTEX to disinfect loads without wasting resources.

Expert design and planning services

Discover how to build a compliant, energy efficient on premises laundry room in a care home.

Watch our video to find out what makes a safe and efficient on-site laundry room and how JLA’s experts can help you plan, install, and maintain it all.

Best practice laundry disinfection 

Sanitising linen is critical in the fight against diseases and harmful microorganisms like MRSA and C.Difficile in care homes. It’s also your legal obligation under HTM-01-04, which sets guidance on thermal and chemical disinfection, and is a priority concern for CQC inspectors.

JLA’s nursing home laundry equipment is designed to not only disinfect laundry in line with these regulations, but give you instant verification for your audit trail. It all adds up to peace of mind, wash after wash. 

WRAS-approved Fluid Category 5 equipment 

Care home sluice washing systems are expected to use backflow prevention devices certified to Fluid Category 5, to prevent supply contamination.

All JLA washing machines and bedpan washers use air gaps as standard, which provide the highest possible level of backflow protection, and give you an extra layer of assurance. 

Infection Control

Reducing infection risks across the social care sector

Establishing a robust infection prevention and control policy has been a major priority for everybody working to keep residents and staff safe in care and nursing homes.

Infection control is also a big area of focus for the Care Quality Commission, which makes your compliance essential.   

With 50 years’ experience supporting care homes and healthcare settings with specialised laundry, catering and specialist disinfection systems, JLA offers a range of high-capacity laundry machines, macerators, bedpan washers and ozone-based room sanitisers, all designed to minimise contamination risk while helping you and your staff maintain high standards of hygiene.

We know that, owing to the communal nature of your environment, the vulnerability of your residents, and the number of visitors, staff and contractors in your setting, infection risks remain high. With this in mind, we also give you access to the tools, best-practice advice, and infection control training you need to stay compliant.

OTEX

The OTEX ozone laundry system

Our ground-breaking, best-in-class OTEX laundry disinfection system uses the power of ozone to eliminate harmful micro-organisms – including coronavirus and 99.999% of other harmful bacteria, moulds and yeasts – even on a cool wash.
Compared to traditional thermal laundry systems, it cuts hot water, gas and electricity use, saving you money.
View the OTEX systems

Effective disinfection systems

Keeping patients safe while preventing outbreaks is mission-critical. With this in mind, we’ve created effective, easy-to-use disinfection systems to keep you compliant and your patients safe.
  • JLA bedpan washers reduce the spread of infection with single touch
  • WRAS-approved hands-free macerators eliminate contamination and odours
  • OTEX helps you sanitise sheets in as little as 45 minutes

Catering

Care home meal preparation made simple 

Your care home’s kitchen equipment plays a big role in how you look after residents, especially when you’re accommodating personal preferences or special diets.

With this in mind, it’s vital you have the right machines on hand to safely prepare and serve your meals, from breakfast right through to supper. 

But when prep space is often at a premium, and your staff have many other duties to attend to while they’re on shift, it’s also important that your care home cooking equipment is efficient, reliable and simple to use, and compliant with every relevant hygiene standard. 

At JLA, we supply and look after a wide range of intelligent, energy-efficient commercial cooking, refrigeration and warewashing solutions that make life a little easier for staff in care and nursing homes. Discover catering equipment that’s been designed to serve up nutritious, tasty food, even at peak mealtimes, then help you clean up afterwards. 

JLA Compact Gourmet Combi Oven

Catering equipment for your care home

With JLA catering supplies in your kitchen, you can spend less time cooking and preparing, and more time focusing on your residents.
Combi Ovens

That’s because our versatile, Energy Star-rated combi ovens are pre-programmed for multiple meal types, and often allow your staff to prepare tasty food at the touch of a button. Our combi ovens come in a range of sizes, so there’s a solution for every space. And because they’re triple-glazed for efficiency, can cook more at once, and only use the steam they need, they’ll save energy, too.

Commercial dishwashers

With disinfection cycles to meet hygiene regulations, our energy-efficient dishwashers cut costs and save time.
Hobart Dishwasher

Along with leaving your crockery, cutlery and glassware sparkling clean, JLA’s compact thermal disinfecting dishwashers are engineered to quickly sanitise items and massively reduce the chance of cross-infection in your kitchen.

Fire Safety

Trusted fire protection for the care sector

Robust fire protection is vital in any care or nursing home setting, and the best way to guarantee the safety of your residents, staff members and visitors.

At JLA, we support thousands of care and nursing homes with a full suite of fire safety solutions, ranging from fire risk assessments and automatic opening smoke vents, right through to care home fire alarms, fully accredited fire doors, and extinguishers.

After five decades working closely with care providers, we know your residents’ differing mobility needs demand bespoke fire protection, so we’ll ensure our solutions are always right for your home. In line with the 2001 Care Home Regulations Act, we’ll also work closely with you to develop robust emergency procedures and train staff on plans to evacuate your most vulnerable residents as quickly as possible.

Beyond equipment supply and planned maintenance, we’ll ensure you and your staff are trained on, and operating in line with, all relevant care home fire safety regulations and standards, so you stay knowledgeable, protected, and can give your residents and their families extra peace of mind. This includes making sure your care home’s alarms, fire doors and extinguishers are regularly inspected and maintained in accordance with the new Fire Safety Regulations 2022, and that any potential fire hazards are spotted and eliminated quickly.

Fire doors at JLA

Fire doors for your care home

Whether they’re protecting your residents’ rooms or communal spaces, fire doors act as the first defence when a fire breaks out, safeguarding lives, escape routes and property.

JLA supply and install an extensive range of BM Trada fire door products to keep residents, staff and visitors safe. We also provide quarterly inspection, maintenance and certification to keep doors fully compliant with RRO 2005 and BS 9999.
