We recently had the pleasure of interviewing Paula Atkins, the Chief Clinical Officer at Holy Angels, to discuss the transformative impact of our therapeutic seating solutions on their residents.

Incorporating sensory features into the daily routines of individuals living with dementia can significantly enhance their well-being, especially during potentially stressful situations. For those with dementia, the progression of the disease can often disrupt the normal sensory processing and the ability to make sense of the environment, leading to confusion, anxiety, and a decreased ability to manage daily tasks independently.

Reduced mobility is a significant risk factor for pressure injury development, international guidelines emphasise the need for regular turning and repositioning of patients to help prevent skin damage¹. While a pressure redistribution mattress may enable the repositioning regimen to be individualised, regular postural change is still important but not without risk to the patient or caregiver.

In the world of dementia care, the focus is on redefining the caregiving experience with a range of innovative, dementia-accredited products. This holistic approach underscores the importance of relationships in delivering true person-centered care.

In healthcare, architects and owners collaborate to keep staff and patients safe as well as plan for the best use of space in a facility. Ceiling lifts provide a high level of satisfaction to those who incorporate this technology into their project plans. Below are 10 advantages of ceiling lifts in a healthcare project.

Like most of the United States, it seems that summer came early and with a vengeance. All states are experiencing excessively high temperatures, and the humidity has been extremely high. In my hometown of Jacksonville, the weather correspondents refer to the “humiditure”, what the air feels like with the high temperature and humidity combined.

A pressure injury seriously affects quality of life. As clinicians, increasing awareness of pressure injury prevention and education are important to help ensure healthier outcomes for those in our lives and under our care.

Early mobilization has been demonstrated to be both safe and feasible for patients admitted to critical care.

Early mobilization of ICU patients has been associated with improved muscle strength and functional independence, as well as a shorter duration of delirium, mechanical ventilation, and ICU length of stay.

The significance of early mobility in the rehabilitation of war veterans cannot be overstated. In fact, muscle wasting occurs early and rapidly during the first week of critical illness, with losses of up to 20% seen for those in multi organ failure.

In the pursuit of optimizing the rehabilitation journey for our esteemed veterans, the Veterans Administration (VA) has developed the Mobility Screening and Solutions Tool. This tool aims to enhance early mobilization and improve the functional outcomes of veterans.

Intensive care unit (ICU) patients frequently have extreme derangement of physiological function.
