Protective Clothing for Residential Care and Community Support Workers
Residential care workers, group home staff, and community support workers provide essential daily care to individuals with developmental disabilities, acquired brain injuries, dementia, and other complex needs. Body Armour Canada provides comfortable, discreet protective clothing that staff can wear throughout their entire shift.
Who This Is For
Developmental services workers in group homes, personal support workers in assisted living, brain injury rehabilitation staff, dementia care workers in long-term care, respite care providers, and community living support workers providing in-home assistance.
Practical for Shift Work
Residential care means 8 to 12 hour shifts involving personal care, meal preparation, community outings, and overnight supervision. Our protective clothing is engineered for comfort over long periods. The arm guards weigh just a few ounces and breathe well enough for active work. The hoodies and jackets use moisture-wicking liners that keep staff comfortable whether they are assisting with bathing, cooking dinner, or heading out for a walk in the community.
Recommended Products
Start with the Cut, Scratch and Bite Resistant Arm Guards with Thumbhole (CA$75.00), the single most effective piece of protection for personal care interactions. Add the Arm Guards with Added Foam (CA$85.00) if the individuals you support also pinch. The Impact, Cut, Bite and Pinch Resistant Jacket for Teachers (from CA$125.00) provides full upper-body coverage at an affordable price. For agencies providing 24/7 care, we recommend ordering multiple sets per staff member to allow for washing rotation.
Agency Purchasing
We work with residential care agencies, community living organizations, and disability service providers across Canada. We can invoice on net-30 terms for established agencies, provide sizing kits for staff fitting, and offer annual replenishment pricing. Many agencies fund protective clothing through their occupational health and safety budgets or through WSIB prevention programs.
