St. Ann Place has 6 private bathrooms in the shower area. Clients may shower daily (Monday through Friday), and showers are 20 minutes in length. St. Ann Place supplies clients with a towel and washcloth and any and all toiletries that are necessary. Showers are disinfected between use.
Toiletries include soap, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, body and foot powder, shaving cream, razors, toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouth wash, floss. We also generally have a full supply of over the counter medications including pain relievers, cold medicine, anti-acids, and other general medications. We also provide feminine hygiene products and adult disposable underwear.
Clients who are not showering but need hygiene items are provided with a hygiene kit.
Clients who take a shower may leave clothes in the laundry to be washed and folded. Clothing left in the laundry is available to be picked up the following morning. Due to volume constraints we cannot accept laundry for people who are not showering.
Hygiene program volunteers assist with showers, clothing selection, laundry and handing out toiletries, towels and over the counter medications.
