Taking care of someone who is ill, injured, or elderly is a noble occupation. However, it can really take a toll on a person’s body. That is why those who run healthcare facilities are concerned not only with the comfort and safety of their patients, but also the safety and health of the nursing staff. Quality acute and aged care chairs are an essential part of that equation.
3 Ways Acute and Aged Care Chairs Keep the Nursing Staff Safe
There are three ways in particular in which acute and aged care chairs can help keep the nursing staff safe and sound.
- A Solid Foundation
Acute and aged chairs that have a wider base are less likely to tip over. This means that patients are less likely to take a tumble, and that nurses won’t have to worry about falling, either. One person falling is bad enough; get another person involved and the damage done will likely be much worse.
- Easy to Move and Maneuver
One of the best-sellers at Wintur is the Comflex Care Chair, and for good reason. The tracking castors allow for easy maneuvering, including the ability to swivel. This is something that will make moving patients much easier.
- Self-Lifting Chairs
Lifting a patient can cause back strain, especially if one is doing it on a regular basis, as is the case for most nurses. Acute and aged care chairs that lift and tilt make it easier to help patients out of the chair instead of having to lift them out of it.
A Healthy Staff Is Vital to Providing Continual Excellence in Patient Care
The goal of every healthcare and eldercare facility is to provide optimal care. But focusing solely on the patients is not enough. These facilities need to ensure the health and safety of their nursing staff, too. With heavy duty acute and aged care chairs, both the patients and the staff will be comfortable and safe.
