New Hoisting & Personal CareTechnologies
New lifting technologies are making it possible for a single caregiver to move an elderly resident from their bed to a wheelchair and provide personal care, whereas previously two people were needed to perform such a procedure.
In a report from the Danish National Board of Social Services it estimated that municipalities could reduce the cost of 860 full-time positions, which corresponds to about
£38m (DKK 360 million), if the lifting technologies were to be implemented nationwide.
The initial investment in the technology which includes ceiling hoists and height adjustable care chairs would pay for itself in just a few years whilst at the same time the new technology can provide caregivers more time for other tasks delivering improved quality of care with lower costs of care.
