Albert
Albert can perform daily activities independently
This patient is able to perform daily activities independently without assistance from another person. The patient may require special aids or appliances to assist their independent function.
- Ambulatory, but may use the IV for support
- Independent – can clean and dress himself
- The green colour of his shirt indicates that he presents a low risk of static or dynamic overload for the caregiver
- Stimulation of functional mobility is very important to maintain independence
Empowering Movement
The mobility gallery plays a key role in empowering movement in both acute and long-term care, by enabling an assessment of an individual’s level of mobility, and how this will impact the quality of care.
Designing for Albert
Arjo collaborates closely with architects, nursing home executives, safe patient handling experts, residents and relatives, allowing us to successfully design spaces to suit the individual patient’s needs.
The Positive Eight
The Positive Eight philosophy visualises the potential positive effects that arise from improving or maintaining a person’s mobility through application of the best care skills, an efficient work environment and the proper equipment.
