About Dignity Pajamas

‘Dignity Pajamas’ was born of a need to help my parents retain their dignity while traveling through the end journey of their long lives. Dressing and changing a frail, elderly or sick patient is a challenge, not to mention hard on the patient. Here is my story to end the struggle of dressing the bedridden. As a clothing designer for 30 years, I was dismayed by the caregivers’ solution to making it easier to change my mother was to take a company logo tee shirt and slit the back. Although well intended, not the most dignified or respectful solution. I searched. There were only limited choices that were not at the quality or taste level that my mother and perhaps yours would want, to retain her dignity around her loved ones. Sadly, my mother passed away before I solved the problem. My father at 93, went through the same process. I decided he was not going through the same indignity. I redesigned pajamas in the taste level and quality that my parents were used to. When I brought them to the facility the next day to have my father changed into them, the caregivers loved them and he smiled weakly and said "you just found your next business. Make something pretty for your mother…" and I did. ‘Dignity Pajamas’ was born. High quality 100% cotton adaptable sleepwear in beautiful styles and fabrics that they deserve with discreet velcro back closures. A gentler and more respectful solution for both the patient and the caregiver. Read their story
