Halton Haven Hospice in Runcorn provides palliative and end-of-life care and recently faced a growing need for specialized bariatric equipment. Previously relying on hired equipment, which proved costly and sometimes inadequate, the hospice sought to improve its provisions for plus-sized patients to enhance comfort, dignity, and care efficiency.
Innova Care Concepts assisted by supplying a comprehensive bariatric equipment package. This included the Versatech 1100 Bariatric Bed, an Aura II air replacement mattress, a Bariatric Arene Rise Recliner Chair, and a Vikta Komfitilt lateral tilt system. The hospice’s choice was influenced by the flexibility of the Interlude 500 Bed, which can be adjusted to a standard size, and the advanced features of the equipment, such as sensor fall alarms and low height for safety. Halton Haven’s Lead Clinical Services Manager praised Innova for their excellent customer service and the opportunity to trial the equipment, noting it significantly improved patient care and operational efficiency.
“After establishing our requirements, we were invited to the Innova showroom to look at the products available. It proved to be of great benefit to find what we were looking for, especially in being able to book a trial to have the bed at our Hospice. We were so impressed with the high specification of the bed, the cost, and the excellent customer service we received from Almanzo that we also purchased a bespoke bariatric bed. I would highly recommend Almanzo and Innova for any care providers looking for high quality and affordable equipment.”
