Making Our Long Story Short
Penner Patient Care is a family business in Aurora, Nebraska. The Penner family has served long-term care facilities since 1980 and manufactured its own line of bathing spas since 2001. Our family business has been built on customer service, trust and repeat business. In the decades since our founding, Penner has become the nation’s leader in the design and development of quality bathing systems for the long-term care market.
Using our knowledge of commercial spas and more than 300 years of combined experience, Penner Bathing launched a walk-in bath designed for the home in 2019.

Where are Penner bathing systems made, and how long have you been in business?
Penner manufactures its bathing spas in Aurora, Nebraska. The Penner family has served the bathing system market since 1980 and manufactured its own line of spas since 2001.
What should we do if a spa door seal starts to leak?
Contact Penner about the replacement seal for your spa. Penner’s existing seal design allows the old seal to peel off and the replacement to stick on. Ask for the correct part and instructions for your model.
How are Penner bathing systems cleaned and disinfected between residents?
Clean and disinfect the bathing system after every bath, following the instructions for your model and the disinfectant label. Penner operating manuals describe cleaning, disinfectant contact time and rinsing. Review the complete procedure with your facility’s infection prevention team.

Removing and replacing an existing healthcare spa typically takes one day when there are no flooring or other room issues. Penner performs limited installations, primarily in Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, Kansas, North Dakota and Minnesota. Contact Penner to confirm availability and review the requirements for your room.
