Living Aids Equipment Hire

With our solutions, we prioritise patient safety and ensure that staff members have immediate access to relevant information.

These solutions have been tailored to meet the needs of hospitals, assisted living facilities, and private residences.

The utilisation of motion detection technology by Proximate Nurse Call enables effective communication between nursing staff, caregivers, and patients regarding movement.

This innovative system can be conveniently integrated into different pressure-relieving gadgets, beds, and chairs.

We prioritise the creation of a safe and supportive space for patients during their sleep by providing roll-out beds that establish clear and accommodating sleeping setups.

By equipping nurses with the necessary knowledge and resources, we establish the norm for early detection and prevention of falls and injuries.

Opting for mattresses that are closer to the ground can have a substantial impact on reducing the risk of severe injuries, thereby preventing potential harm.

Our beds can specifically facilitate patients’ safe and assisted movement on and off their beds.

Patients will benefit from our training and guidance on the proper utilisation of our products, which will also result in an extended lifespan for the equipment.
