Gainsborough Specialist Bathing: transfering a bather into a Kent 2 assi...

-




This video demonstrates how to transfer a semi-ambulant bather into a Kent Series 2 hi-lo bath from Gainsborough Specialist Bathing. 

This bath is installed at The Marbrook Centre, St Neots, Cambridgeshire which is a specialist neurological rehabilitation and long term care facility.

A new range of assistive baths from Gainsborough Specialist Bathing was launched at the end of 2015. 

The equivalent hi-lo bath in the new range is the Gentona. Designed specifically for high-traffic wet environments, the Gentona is fully height adjustable and comes with powered transfer seat to deliver exceptional levels of care. With its energy-efficient keyhole shape and a variety of water-saving features, this versatile bathing system is designed to deliver high levels of performance yet it is still extremely economical to run.

Being height adjustable, the Gentona ensures a safe, comfortable working height for care staff, and its easy-to-clean surfaces help to reduce the risk of cross-infection. The powered transfer seat lowers to a convenient height for a wheelchair or hoist access and gently moves the bather in and out of the bath. http://www.gainsboroughbaths.com/product/assisted-baths/gentona

In this video you will see the Theracare Leg Lifter : a cost-effective way to get legs into bed – independently and safely. The Theracare Leg Lifter from Theraposture has been designed to enable users to safely and easily get their legs into bed. This simple daily task can prove difficult or even impossible for many people who may have lost muscle tone and therefore strength and general mobility. The Leg Lifter is compatible with most types of bed whether they are non-adjustable or adjustable. It will comfortably lift legs up, over and onto the sleeping surface, requiring very little movement or repositioning. This Theraposture solution is unlike alternative leg lifters that simply lift the legs beside the bed, which is the key difference that distinguishes the Theracare Leg Lifter from many alternative devices available. The motor is quiet and strong enough to lift severely oedemic (swollen) legs. Reduce carer intervention, maximise independence and eliminate care costs with

Linda Locke, 64 and retired carer from Leiston in Suffolk, has won a new  Eclipse ‘car boot’ mobility scooter  courtesy of  TGA Mobility  in Sudbury – giving her independence to bird-watch once more. For many years, Linda and her husband David have been regular visitors to the  RSPB  Minsmere nature reserve on the east coast of Suffolk. This  AONB  is home to a huge variety of wildlife including otters, adders, lizards and wetland-feeding birds such as Avocets.
