We're excited to share a significant milestone at Otter Homecare: the introduction of the Raizer Fall Recovery Chair, a leading solution for assisting individuals after a fall. This pioneering step makes us the first home care provider in Wiltshire and Somerset to adopt this gold-standard technology.
Our team has successfully completed comprehensive training on the operation of the Raizer chair and its accompanying HelpFall software, developed in partnership with South West Ambulances. This innovative software plays a crucial role by offering guidance on safely moving someone post-fall, ensuring that we make informed decisions in critical moments.
The challenge of assisting fallen individuals, especially the elderly, has historically placed a heavy burden on caregivers and emergency services. Care protocols have traditionally prevented carers from moving individuals who have fallen, to avoid the risk of further injury. This has not only strained emergency services but has also resulted in prolonged wait times for those in need, exacerbating health risks such as pressure sores from extended periods on the ground.
Enter the Raizer Fall Recovery Chair. This state-of-the-art device is a game-changer, empowering our team to safely assist someone back on their feet without the immediate need for emergency responders. Designed with both safety and dignity in mind, the chair includes a software app with a comprehensive checklist and traffic light system, ensuring the utmost care in every lift. It addresses the critical issue of prolonged floor time and its associated health risks, providing a swift and dignified solution.
Our staff's extensive training on this innovative device ensures we can provide swift, safe, and compassionate assistance in moments that matter the most. It's not just about getting back up; it's about restoring confidence, independence, and peace of mind for our clients.
At Otter Homecare, innovation is at the heart of what we do. With the introduction of the Raizer chair, we're not just adopting new technology; we're embracing a tool that promises to enhance the well-being and dignity of those we serve in Wiltshire and Somerset. We look forward to the positive impact this will have on our community and the potential to redefine care standards for those in need.
