Canada has an aging population and thus there is a greater need in nursing homes for the safe and efficient transfer of patients. Given the physical demands on caregivers, combined with the time pressures, Ergonomic Transfer Chairs are vital pieces of equipment to minimise burden and save cost. Here at Zhongshan Kandebao (KDB) Rehabilitation Equipment Co., Ltd., we have engineered top-of-the-line transfer chairs that make caregiving easy in Canadian long-term care homes.
The Challenges Faced by Canadian Nursing Home Caregivers
High probability of musculoskeletal injuries caused by the manual lifting of the patient
Unavailability of staff and the need for more rapid and safer methods of transfer
Mobility spread— From semi-mobile to total dependent residents
Infectivity control needs for surface cleanability
