With 10,000 Baby Boomers now reaching the age of 65 every day, providing long-term care is a bona fide need and growing concern. For individuals, families, government officials and federal taxpayers, this demographic shift will drain dollars and attention. The availability and cost of care for all disabled individuals and their families will be affected.
Family and custodial caregivers provide over $500 billion in long term care annually. Most of this cost is attributable to patient assistance with Activities of Daily Living. For the disabled in need of transfer assistance, prohibitively expensive custodial home care has been the only option. The team at NEXT HEALTH™ has developed a solution that addresses transfer and rehabilitative needs associated with disabling conditions. Our solutions address the issues associated with home and institutional care, as well as needs of our disabled veterans.
NEXT HEALTH™ now offers a system that can reduce care giving cost while contributing to better outcomes. The NEXT HEALTH AgileLife Patient Transfer and Movement System (PTS)™ is an integration of several assistive devices that safely moves a patient from a bed to a wheel or commode chair, and back. There is no straining or lifting. With the ability to safely, easily and frequently transfer a bedridden patient, patients, family, caregivers and insurers can all benefit. For those who are restricted and dependent, a sense of independence and dignity are restored. Few technologies can have such a positive impact through the health care continuum. The AgileLife™ system has been called a “game changer” by many, “ingenious” and a “must have” by others.
The AgileLife Patient Transfer and Movement System™ is a core solution for caregiving and a foundation for continued research and development. At NEXT HEALTH™ we will always strive to develop innovative technologies and service solutions that “Simply Transform Caregiving™”.
