Greetings!
Happy New Year and very best wishes for an amazing 2011!
Electric beds can greatly enhance the independence and comfort of users with minor mobility challenges, but they offer unparalleled assistance to anyone requiring personal care from a caregiver. This first issue of 2011 covers (no pun intended) everything BEDS. Below we have an AHC Series 1000 Full Electric Bed Product Feature, a Bed Reference Sheet, and a Bed Q&A.
We would also like to announce our first inservice of 2011 - on BHM Lifts & Slings, taking place in February. Consider attending the Wound Conference, sponsored by Vancouver Coastal Health on March 4th.
Thanks to everyone who came out to the annual SelfCare Christmas Luncheons! We would also like to recognize our supportive manufacturers who provided some of the gifts under the tree. A full listing is below.
We look forward to providing you with useful information throughout the year. Please contact us at any time if you have any comments, questions or topics you want covered by an inservice by emailing kim.mackie@selfcarehome.com. |

Product Feature - AHC Series 1000 Full Electric Bed
The new, full featured AHC Series 1000 bed is a great option for users requiring Trendelenberg or Reverse Trendelenberg. With attractive wooden bed ends, a pan deck and very quiet operation, it is an excellent choice for those considering a full electric bed purchase.
