When a resident needs our attention, they need a way to let us know without having to raise their voice. One simple way for this to happen is use this SadoTech wireless call button system. It is designed as a compact and convenient call button that also has a lanyard, so it can be worn around the neck. The receiver can be plugged into any outlet so it can be positioned near the caregivers location. The call button is easy to squeeze and it is waterproof as well.
Our manual dexterity can decrease with illness or age, and this makes it more likely for us to spill things while we are eating. While we might not be able to prevent these mishaps, we can mitigate the needed clean up with these clothing protectors. Worn as bibs, these protectors are 18 inches wide and at 37 inches long, which is enough length to reach the lap. They have a snap closure with triple snaps to adjust the size. These are waterproof and stain resistant as well as machine washable.
Having a dry and clean bed is vitally important for rest, recovery, and a good night’s sleep. Incontinence problems are common in those who have issues that interfere with them easily getting out of bed. The Medokare bed pads are over 35 inches wide and long. They are highly absorbent, with four leak-proof and odor neutralizing layers. They also have adhesive tabs to help them stay in place.
For those who spend a lot of time either in bed or sitting, neck problems are common. This Snuggle-Pedic Contour memory foam neck pillow can provide adjustable support for a more comfortable and restful sleep. It is 19 inches wide and has both a thicker and thinner edge, allowing the user to choose the right size. This provides comfortable support for the neck’s natural curve.
A bedside commode can be needed when a resident is ill or has become physically unable to move easily to the bathroom. A good way to assist in cleaning these style of commode is to use a liner. These Medokare disposable liners are absorbent and make clean up quick and easy. They are leak-proof and can hold up to 16 ounces of liquid. Once sealed they block spills and odor.
Adding these supplies to our business will make things better for the residents and easier for the caregivers, increasing satisfaction to our customers and our employees.
