Custom CNA and Medical Assistant Scrubs

CNA scrubs are the uniforms certified nursing assistants wear for hands-on resident and patient care, so they need to stretch, launder hot and identify the wearer's role at a glance. Custom Uniform Factory manufactures them, along with medical assistant scrubs and nursing home uniforms for every department, for care facilities, clinics, staffing agencies and CNA training programs, cut and sewn in its Los Angeles factory from imported fabric, from about 50 pieces per style.

Product photos are illustrative renderings of styles we make; every order is produced to your spec.

Who buys CNA and medical assistant scrubs?

CNA and medical assistant scrubs are usually bought by an organization rather than by the wearer: nursing homes and assisted living facilities, hospitals, home health agencies, physician offices and urgent care centers, staffing agencies, and the colleges and schools that train certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and medical assistants (MAs).

  • Nursing homes, skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. outfitting CNAs and resident aides.
  • Hospitals. where CNAs and patient care techs work alongside nurses in a separate color.
  • Home health and hospice agencies. issuing scrubs to aides who travel between homes.
  • Physician offices, urgent care and multi-specialty clinics. dressing medical assistants.
  • Staffing agencies. keeping stock for newly placed aides.
  • CNA and MA programs. at colleges, technical schools and high schools supplying student uniforms; registered and practical nursing programs are covered on the nursing student uniforms page.

CNA scrubs by role and setting

CNA scrubs and medical assistant uniforms vary by setting: long-term care CNAs need stretch and facility-launderable fabric, hospital CNAs need a color distinct from registered nurses (RNs), home health aides need durable home-washable sets, and students must match their program’s dress code exactly.

RoleTypical uniformWhat matters most
CNAs in long-term careScrub set in the facility’s CNA colorStretch for transfers, easy-clean fabric, facility laundering
CNAs and patient care techs in hospitalsScrub set in a color distinct from RNsClear role identification, pockets
Home health aidesDurable scrubs, often with a jacketTravel between homes, home laundering
Clinical medical assistantsScrubs in the clinic color, sometimes a short lab jacketProfessional look, role title visible
Administrative medical assistantsScrubs or a coordinated top in a front-office colorPatient-facing, brand-consistent
CNA and MA studentsProgram-specified color with school patch or logoExact compliance with the dress code

Licensed nurses’ uniforms are covered on the healthcare scrubs page.

Nursing home and assisted living uniforms by department

Nursing home uniforms work best as a department plan: licensed nurses, CNAs, restorative aides, activities, dietary and housekeeping staff each get a distinct color, backed by embroidered names and titles. Assisted living uniforms follow the same idea, often in softer colors, because the community is residents’ home rather than a clinical unit.

Color-coding nursing, dietary, housekeeping and activities staff

The plan below is an illustration, not a standard. Residents with memory loss may not remember any code, so clear block-font titles matter even more here.

GroupExample colorGarment notes
Licensed nurses (RN, LPN)NavyScrub set, jacket for med passes
CNAs and resident aidesWineScrub set with stretch for transfers
Restorative aidesTealScrub set, room to kneel
Activities and life enrichmentRoyal blueScrubs or a softer coordinated top
Dietary staffBlack, or kitchen wearClean outer clothing and hair restraints under the FDA Food Code as your state adopts it
Housekeeping and laundryGrayDurable scrubs or work tops

Tip: Ask residents’ families which roles they find hardest to tell apart. That tells you where color and titles need the most contrast.

Ordering for multi-site senior living operators

Operators with several communities keep one approved specification per department, garment, color and logo, and each community orders against it. New buildings and acquisitions join the standard as they open, and a single roster format per community keeps names and sizes consistent across sites.

What do CNAs need from their scrubs?

Scrubs for CNAs need stretch and room to move, easy-clean fabric, color that survives facility laundering and practical pockets. CNAs do the most physical work in patient care, including bathing, toileting, repositioning, transfers and feeding, so seams, fabric and pockets are tested harder than in almost any other healthcare role.

Stretch

Lifting and turning residents means bending deep and reaching across beds. A fabric with spandex, a gusseted crotch and room through the shoulders keeps seams from tearing.

Easy-clean fabric

Body fluids are part of the job. Smooth, high-polyester fabrics release stains more easily than heavy cotton, and fluid-resistant finishes help spills bead off. They do not replace gowns or aprons for heavy contamination.

Colorfastness

Many long-term care facilities wash uniforms on site in hot water. Colorfast fabric and bleach-resistant embroidery thread stop scrubs from fading out of the facility’s color code within months.

Pockets

Gloves, a pen, a notepad, a phone and a gait belt are common. Side pockets on scrub tops and cargo pockets on scrub pants keep hands free.

How should a CNA team be sized?

Size a CNA team with a try-on session using samples, recording top and pant sizes separately and including extended sizes. CNA teams are large and varied in build, and aides move constantly, so a poor fit shows up as torn seams and staff buying their own scrubs. Sizes run from XXS to 5XL.

For facilities with high turnover, keep a short list of the most common sizes and add them to each reorder so new aides are not left waiting. The scrub size chart explains how unisex and women’s cuts compare.

Home health and hospice aides

Home health and hospice aides work in clients’ homes rather than a facility, so their scrubs follow an agency plan built for travel, home washing and recognition at the door. Agency programs, from caregiver scrubs to branded jackets, are covered on the page on uniforms for home health agencies.

How should medical assistant uniforms identify the role?

Medical assistant uniforms should identify the role in words, with the clinic logo on one chest and the person’s name plus “Medical Assistant”, “CMA” or “RMA” on the other. Patients often assume anyone in scrubs is a nurse, and medical assistants move between clinical tasks such as rooming patients and giving injections and administrative work.

Many states restrict the word “nurse” to licensed nurses; the American Nurses Association tracks these state title protection laws for the word “nurse”. The embroidered scrubs service handles names and titles on every garment. Some clinics put clinical and administrative MAs in different colors; others use one color and let the title do the work.

Medical assistant uniforms by clinic setting

SettingTypical approach
Single-specialty practiceOne scrub color for all MAs, titles embroidered
Multi-specialty groupA shared MA color across sites, with clinic logos per location if needed
Urgent careMAs in a distinct color from nurses and providers
Pediatric practiceBrighter colors are common; titles still matter for parents
Administrative MAsFront-office color, or clinical MA scrubs with an administrative title

Staffing agencies and travel programs

Staffing agencies placing CNAs and medical assistants rarely know in advance which client color an aide will need. A workable approach is a core stock of one or two neutral styles in common sizes, branded with the agency logo, with client-specific colors ordered once a placement is confirmed.

Agencies with large, steady contracts sometimes keep a client’s color in stock as well. Buying core stock as wholesale scrubs keeps the cost per piece down. Agencies supplying several client facilities can run colors, sizes and reorders as one managed uniform program.

CNA and medical assistant training programs

CNA and medical assistant training programs dress students in a program color with the school logo or patch in an exact position, sized for each short cohort and reordered to the same specification each term. Because CNA courses run in weeks rather than years, one shared top and pant style usually covers every cohort.

What determines the cost of CNA and medical assistant uniforms?

The cost of CNA and medical assistant uniforms depends on fabric, quantity per style, how many colors and styles the program carries, decoration and personalization such as names, titles or school patches. Each order is quoted on its actual fabric, artwork and quantities, so the table shows which choices move the cost.

Cost driverHow it moves the costHow to keep it in check
FabricStretch and performance blends usually cost more than standard poly-cottonMatch fabric to facility or home laundering
Quantity per styleLarger runs spread cutting, setup and sampling across more piecesOne core style across the aide team
Colors and stylesEach style and color is its own run to plan and reorderSeparate roles by title where possible
Style complexityGussets, cargo pockets and loops add sewing timeKeep the features aides use
DecorationLogos, patches and the number of locations add time per pieceOne logo or patch position
PersonalizationIndividual names and titles add handling per pieceOne roster in a single format

Medical assistant scrubs with a 50-piece minimum

Medical assistant scrubs, CNA scrubs and student uniforms are all ordered at about 50 pieces per style, where a style is one garment design in one fabric. Care facilities reach it with one top and one pant style across the aide team, clinics often combine clinical and administrative MAs, and schools order per cohort.

  • Care facilities. order one CNA top style and one pant style, sized across the whole aide team, with several sets per person.
  • Clinics. combine clinical and administrative MAs into one style and separate them by title or color. The size and color breakdown within a style is agreed at quote stage.
  • Schools. order per cohort, or combine cohorts into a larger run.
  • Agencies. buying blank stock in volume use the wholesale scrubs program.

Each order starts with samples for fit and color approval, followed by a roster of sizes and names where required. Fabric options and current lead times are confirmed with your quote.

Laundering and care for aide and assistant scrubs

Aide and assistant scrubs last longest in colorfast, high-polyester fabric that tolerates hot facility laundries, washed after every shift and kept away from chlorine bleach unless the label allows it. Fluid-resistant finishes wear down over many washes, so plan replacement cycles accordingly.

  • Long-term care facilities

    often launder uniforms on site at high temperatures; choose colorfast fabrics so colors stay true to your code.

  • Aides who launder at home

    should wash scrubs after every shift, separately from household laundry, at the hottest temperature the label allows.

  • Bleach

    should only be used on fabrics labeled for it; polyester embroidery thread tolerates it.

  • Healthcare laundries

    follow CDC guidance on laundry in health-care facilities, a much tougher cycle than a home machine.

What mistakes do facilities make with CNA uniforms?

The most common CNA and MA uniform mistakes are one generic scrub for every role, using “nurse” in a medical assistant’s title, too few sets per aide, collecting student sizes late and placing patches differently from the school handbook. Each is easy to prevent during planning.

  1. One generic scrub for every role

    Residents, patients and families cannot tell aides from nurses.

  2. Using “nurse” in an MA’s title

    Use “Medical Assistant”, “CMA” or “RMA”.

  3. Too few sets per aide

    CNAs change after soiling; plan several sets each.

  4. Late size collection for CNA and MA cohorts

  5. Patch placement that differs from the handbook

    Students can be sent home from clinicals for it.

Ask our Los Angeles team

What color scrubs do CNAs wear?

There is no national CNA color. Each facility or training program sets its own, and many give CNAs a different color from nurses so residents and families can tell roles apart. Programs vary widely, from royal blue to black tops with gray pants. We produce to your color code and keep it on record.

Can medical assistants wear 'nurse' on their uniform?

They should not. Many states restrict the title 'nurse' to licensed nurses, and medical assistants are not licensed nurses. The clearest approach is to embroider 'Medical Assistant' or the credential the person holds, such as CMA or RMA, under their name.

What should dietary staff in a nursing home wear?

Dietary staff working in a facility kitchen follow food-safety rules rather than nursing rules: clean outer clothing and hair restraints under the FDA Food Code as adopted by your state. Many facilities give them a kitchen-style top or apron in their own color, so residents can tell them apart from aides.

How should CNA scrubs be laundered?

In nursing homes and long-term care, uniforms may go through a facility laundry with hot water and strong detergents; in home health, aides usually wash their own. Either way, high-polyester blends and colorfast fabric keep their shape and color. Fabric that is easy to clean matters because CNAs deal with body fluids daily.

We are a staffing agency. Can we keep sizes on hand?

Yes. Agencies often order a size run of one or two core styles in neutral colors so new aides can be outfitted on placement, then add a client-specific color when a facility requires it. Our wholesale service covers blank stock; add your logo if you want branded scrubs.
