In elderly care facilities it is especially important to minimize the risks of residents developing pressure ulcers. Hygiene procedures, resident transfers and maintaining resident mobility are other common challenges that can be met if the right assistive devices are chosen.
With our long history in acute care settings, we have been able to adapt many advanced product solutions to the needs of the post acute and long-term care facilities. The result is bed frames, therapeutic surfaces, patient lifts and slings with unparalleled functionality and quality that have been designed specifically to meet the special challenges in elderly care.
For residents that have impaired vision, hearing, sensitivity and dexterity or suffer from Alzheimer’s or other dementia conditions, it is important to provide a comfortable, functional and safe environment that is aesthetically pleasing. Our Meltis furniture range is developed to make life safer and easier for residents with impaired vision and dexterity, for example with clear colour contrasts and large handles that are easy to grip.
The wide range of patient lift slings meets the needs of virtually any resident condition, with more than 200 models in the standard assortment and the ability to tailor-make slings if necessary.
