When it comes to keeping residents safe, the furniture and equipment in your care homes play a bigger role than you might think.
It’s not just about choosing a comfortable chair or a sturdy bed. The right products can reduce falls, protect staff, and all while making life better for residents.
That’s why Acticare’s furniture and equipment are designed with safety and compliance in mind so that you can create peace of mind across every home in your group.
1. Beds That Protect Residents and Staff
Profiling beds are a safety essential in any care home.
Acticare’s profiling beds are built to:
- Lower fall risks with adjustable height and side rails.
- Make transfers easier with electric tilt functions, so staff don’t have to lift awkwardly.
- Stay put safely with sturdy frames and lockable wheels.
When every home in your group has the same reliable beds, safety becomes standard, and safety audits are easier too
2. Mattresses and Cushions That Prevent Pressure Injuries
Pressure care is about more than comfort; it’s about protecting your residents from harm.
Acticare’s pressure-relieving mattresses and cushions help:
- Reduce the risk of pressure ulcers
- Improve resident comfort during extended sitting or lying periods.
Pairing these with profiling beds gives your group a complete safe-sleep solution.
3. Chairs That Keep Residents Comfortable and Secure
A wobbly chair can cause just as much trouble as a trip hazard.
Our high-back, lounge, and chairs are:
- Stable and non-slip, to reduce tipping accidents.
- Supportive for all residents.Easy to clean, so hygiene never takes a back seat.
The result? Safer lounges and dining areas that keep residents comfortable and staff confident.
4. Small Furniture Choices, Big Safety Wins
Even smaller pieces, like overbed tables and bedside cabinets, make a difference.
- Anti-tip designs prevent knocks and spills.
- Lockable wheels keep things steady.
- Smooth, wipe-clean surfaces make infection control a breeze.
By standardising furniture across your homes, you get audit-ready rooms with less risk of accidents.
5. Handling Equipment That Makes Moving Safer
Resident transfers can be risky, for both residents and staff.
