HD Supply Provides Long Term Health Care Solutions While Reducing Laundry Costs
Five Star Community Williamsburg Villas - Knoxville, TN
The Challenge
Five Star Communities is a national long term health care community providing assisted living, independent living and memory care services in over 250 facilities. In one of its facilities in Knoxville, TN, was looking for a laundry detergent solution to meet the community needs.
The Solution
HD Supply's Account Executive, Eric Bennecker, met with Keith Mandrell, Director of Five Star Community Williamsburg Villas. Eric recommended a detergent with a neutral PH that would help to better clean the residents garments. He suggested a detergent by Spartan that required a smaller dosage of detergent.
The Results
The new detergent resulted in immediate results. First, residents of Williamsburg Villas benefitted from softer garments and linens. Second, the new detergent was significantly more cost efficient, resulting in a 70% decrease in cost per load.
"We were really pleased with the new detergent that Eric recommended. Thanks to consulting with Eric and HD Supply, our residents are extremely comfortable and we have the benefit of reduced costs."
