Here at GenieCare we are committed to making users as comfortable as possible throughout their time spent in bed with a range of accessories and bedding modifications that can provide safety and care for people who are bedbound for long periods of time. We have products that can provide solutions for bathing, moving, bed safety and assistance with turning in bed whilst maintaining dignity and independence in a domestic or specialist care setting.

Our impressive range of bedding accessories includes:

SleepLow®

Modifying a bed with the SleepLow technology can provide valuable assistance when it comes to moving bed users. The integral raising and lowering mechanism provides easy use for adjusting the height of the bed, allowing for comfortable nursing of users. With an optional headboard and the possibility of using SafeSides, an inflatable safety product, for additional comfort, this accessory can prove valuable for assisting with the care of your loved one.

ToTo®

By gently turning the bed user at programmed intervals, this product can effectively reduce the risk of pressure ulcers. Furthermore, because the technology operates without the need for a carer to physically turn the user, there is minimal risk of disrupting sleep.

WaterGenie®

As a preferred alternative to a traditional bed bath, the innovative WaterGenie is an inflatable ‘bath’ that is pumped up on the bed to surround the user and comes with a shower device that can provide the bed user with a refreshing shower.

If you would like to learn more about the specially designed products that we supply here at GenieCare and how they can be used in conjunction with adjustable beds, don’t hesitate to call us today on  01903 733 377.

The ToTo device is a unique, lateral turning system that can be fitted to any single bed underneath the existing mattress. The nature of this specialist equipment makes it suitable for both clinical environments and those remaining at home.

This new approach to night time turning or 2 hourly turning greatly aids both patient and carer in the treatment of pressure ulcers through gently moving the user. The ToTo has proven so beneficial that it is now being used in major teaching hospitals.

Different settings allow the carer and user to choose the frequency at which to be moved; this is highly advantageous when wishing to leave a patient sleeping as a very gentle lift can last for up to 2 hours, operating with minimal noise.

When a person needs to remain in bed for extended periods of time, it isn’t just physical wellbeing that needs to be addressed. If a loved one is confined to one area of the house, try to ensure they have home comforts around them to make this time as comfortable as possible; placing the bed near a window to look out on the landscape as well as ensuring independence is maintained by keeping essentials such as water and snacks within easy reach will help to aid mental wellbeing during this time.
