Assisted Living Furniture Can Improve Caregiver Safety

Caregiver safety is becoming more of a concern in assisted living facilities and across the healthcare spectrum.

Caregiving for the elderly is a fulfilling career. Many enter into this job field because of their passion for caring for and keeping safe the aging population.

Caregiver Safety Concerns

This job is not without challenges, however. When the safest and most effective mobility and transportation methods aren’t being used in caregiving for seniors, the risks for the patient and the caregivers greatly increase. One of the more common risk factors to caregivers is the possibility of an injury during transitioning patients from one area to another.

According to a white paper recently published by Integrogroup:

Acute care nurses and other healthcare staff are at high risk of injuries, particularly musculoskeletal disorders, due to the intense physical demands of manually lifting and moving patients.

in an Increasingly Challenging Healthcare Environment, June 15, 2017

Studies have shown that up to 52% of caregivers will suffer from an injury at work, and a great number of those injured will have hurt themselves while transporting a patient from one spot to another.

4 more reasons why Royal EZ outperforms other seating options

The Royal EZ system is a revolutionary tool that converts any conventional chair into an assisted living chair, enabling a caregiver to gently move a seated person to and from the dining table easily and safely.

The Royal EZ mounts casters onto a suspended leverage bar, which is fastened to the chair’s front legs. The casters are fastened to the chair’s rear legs.

Once the foot pedal is depressed, the suspended casters contact the floor, lifting the front legs of the chair ever so slightly. The chair can now be moved forwards or backwards with minimal effort. When the foot pedal is released, the casters lose contact with the floor, and the chair is once again firmly positioned.

In addition to being an innovative change from conventional options in assisted living and aging in place applications, here are 4 more reasons why Royal EZ outperforms other seating options. Read More 4 more reasons why Royal EZ outperforms other seating options

Titan: bringing families together

For too long, family members with mobility challenges have been left out of family gatherings, relegated to a chair in the corner of the living room while everyone else eats in the dining room. The difficulty of accommodating mobility challenges with conventional furniture meant for many that it was easier for an aging loved one to sit in the favourite chair instead of with their family.

It no longer has to be that way. A simple, innovative solution helps unite families instead of separate them. Read More Titan: bringing families together

Why Titan Swivel outshines all other chairs for improving aging in place

The Titan Swivel combines elegance, durability, safety, and mobility to bring you a solution that finally makes it possible both for caregivers to easily transport a person and for that person to experience increased independence and self-esteem.

The Titan Swivel is perfect for people using a walker or rollator, extending their independence by allowing them to seat themselves.

With the seat rotated 90° from the table, a person using a walker can come along side the chair, hold onto the arms of the chair to gain stability, and gently lower themselves onto the chair. Once seated, the seat can be rotated back into alignment with the table, at which time a caregiver can move them forward to the table using the Royal EZ component of the chair.
