Arjo is pleased to announce the launch of an extensive selection of BIM and CAD drawings to support architects, designers and planners by offering a range room and equipment solutions for the Acute and Long Term Care healthcare settings.

Training and development is our highest priority. Through our global Academy, we have recently run a series of webinars covering improving caregiver workflow, mitigating cross-contamination, the impact of early mobilisation on rehabilitation, reducing the risk of patient handling associated injury and more.

Moyola Aged Care staff and residents recently trialled the use of the Wellness Nordic Relax Chair year. After a two-week evaluation of the chair Moyola Aged Care were so impressed by the improvement in resident’s behaviour that they began fundraising in order to purchase the chair and make it a permanent fixture.

Promoting mobility among patients and residents in care facilities is critical for healthy daily lives. 

Standing and raising aids, also known as sit-to-stand devices/lifts, are used by caregivers to transfer patients or residents between two seated postures, for example, seated on the edge of the bed to a wheelchair, or wheelchair to commode or shower chair.

A study by Loughborough University, UK found, during an evaluation of 6 different sit to stand devices for use in rehabilitation, an 'overwhelming preference' for Arjo's standing and raising aid, Sara Flex.
