Connecticut: Resources for Rehabilitation

Connecticut: Resources for RehabilitationIt’s a great day for Representative Gabrielle Giffords. Thirteen days ago, Gifford had been shot in the face: an obviously life threatening situation. Having world class medical care helped with what many are calling a nearly-miraculous recovery.

Doctors have cautioned that there’s still a long way to recovery ahead of Giffords. As many people who have been in an accident or otherwise suffered from similar injuries can attest, the hard work of healing continues after you leave the hospital.

Doctors have said that it’s reasonable to assume that Giffords will be able to walk within two months.  That’s fantastic news!  Even better news is the fact that Representative Giffords will have access to all of the resources necessary to facilitate her recovery.

Connecticut: Surehands Lift Systems

Every patient should have the same resources available.  The most vital resource in any individual’s recovery is having a team of skilled, dedicated caregivers supporting them.  Whether that’s the team of nurses and aides working in a skilled nursing facility or loved ones doing the job at home, caregivers play a critical role in facilitating recovery and ensuring patients enjoy the best quality of life possible. Augment their skills and energy by providing the best patient care infrastructure.

Surehands Lift Systems help caregivers provide superior patient care. Making it easier to help patients in and out of bed, or access the toilet, reduces stress on caregivers and increases patient satisfaction. In the home setting, the use of lift systems can reduce patient anxiety about overburdening or injuring their caretaker. The additional support the lift system lessens the risk of injury to patient and caregiver alike.

Not everyone has access to round the clock caregiving. Lift systems can provide many patients with the ability to perform some or all of the tasks of daily living independently, which affords many families flexibility in their decision making process.
