Case Manager Guide
When faced with such a diverse range of equipment from many suppliers, working out what is best for your client can be a challenge. Using our latest guide will help you work through the minefield that can be transfer and care equipment.
We understand that there can be many complexities in each case and client so have put together a supporting document asking the questions you need when Specifying Hoisting, Bathing and Changing equipment.
Design and Manufacture
Fit for purpose prescriptions for simple or complex cases should be based on the deeper physical needs of the end user and their carers. No one understands these needs as well as case managers and our experienced product specialists build lasting relationships with case managers to bring solutions and ideas based on a comprehensive understanding of what is available and suitable. For example, we can suggest alternative types of internal bathing support or more appropriate slings, and bring space and aesthetic ideas to create the optimum solution between our own and other specialist equipment.
Demonstrations
We know that in many cases, this specialist equipment is unknown to the families and end-users. That’s why all our products can be demonstrated and tried out in the domestic environment. We bring our products to you in our specifically adapted vehicles and will discuss options with you and your clients to find the right solution.
We also offer CPD Seminars in a range of topic areas to help simplify some of the more challenging areas of transfer and care.
Installation Support
We understand the challenges of the contractors, the architect, the case manager and the family and are experienced at working in difficult environments as well as adding value by ensuring our product installation dove-tails in smoothly with the other construction, preventing costly mistakes.
