Launching Alphacare

The AlphaCare is our all-new comfortable yet robust seating system, developed with a key emphasis on safety and stability. The chair has been designed for individuals with postural instability and significant movements, such as those with Huntington’s disease, dementia, and other neurological and neuromuscular conditions, in all health and social care settings The AlphaCare underwent a rigorous two-year trial to ensure it met the highest standards of safety, stability, and seating tolerance. This extensive testing period allowed for design refinements based on user feedback and safety assessments. The final design includes advanced features that ensure unmatched user safety and stability, making the AlphaCare a revolutionary option for those with specialised postural care needs in sitting. Join our Huntington’s Webinar on the 20th June to see it live!

Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Specialist Seating: Collaborating for Optimum Outcomes

The assessment, prescription, and use of specialist seating for individuals with complex postural needs require a multi-disciplinary approach to ensure optimum outcomes. Interdisciplinary collaboration among Health & Social Care Professionals (HCPs) is critical for providing comprehensive care and addressing individuals’ unique needs. I thought it important to take the time to highlight the exceptional role of various Health & Social Care Professionals and celebrate the teamwork that goes into specialist seating provision.

Why is a multi-disciplinary approach important?

Rise & Recline Chair Range

CareFlex is excited to offer a selection of Rise and Recline chairs to accompany our Specialist Seating range.

Our reclining chairs are designed with an individual’s well-being and independence in mind, aiding daily living whilst ensuring optimum comfort. The simple push of a button will raise the user forward and upward to a safe standing position or gently recline them back to rest and relax.

Rise and Recline chairs can assist in maintaining or improving the general health, and ultimately the quality of life, of users who are sitting for prolonged periods of time but require the ability to stand for transfers or mobility.

Highlighting the Needs of Individuals with Dementia

I recently read about NHS England’s exciting new dementia diagnosis drive where hundreds more individuals will be checked for dementia. This specialist service is being trialled across England through 14 new pilot schemes; care home residents will be proactively assessed for their condition by Specialist Nurses and other Healthcare Professionals.

A timely diagnosis ensures that individuals and their support network can manage the condition more effectively, and it can promote improved health outcomes. This new initiative will open doors to needed support, including information, advice and treatment. It also allows the care homes to tailor their support and informs long-term care planning.

Continue reading to learn how specialist seating can play a role within the wider holistic management of dementia to ensure all needs are met, given the impact the condition can have on movement and posture.

MS Awareness Week (25 April to 1 May)

This week, CareFlex will join Multiple Sclerosis (MS) communities across the United Kingdom to mark the 2022 awareness campaign.

For this year’s campaign, the MS Society is supporting different activities and encouraging opportunities for individuals to share their stories.
