Care Homes

Harvest Healthcare are a leader in the manufacture, installation and maintenance of profiling beds, pressure care mattresses, cushions and moving and handling equipment, dedicated to serving care homes across the UK.

20 years’ experience of working with care home professionals has enabled us to tailor our approach to help meet common challenges, resulting in our focus on the 3 Cs approach: Compliance, Cost, and Care. We ensure Compliance, enhance the quality of Care, and simultaneously reduce your Costs.

Compliance

We offer services to make sure you are compliant with legal standards.

• LOLER and PUWER testing make sure equipment is safe to use and complies with bed rail regulations.

Help you to comply with the Care Quality Commission’s Key Lines of Enquiry.

• Planned preventative maintenance optimises safe and reliable operation

• Training of all key staff in the correct use of equipment protects residents from avoidable harm and ensures equipment is well maintained.

We offer 24/7 technical support and 4-hour engineer call out to make sure that your equipment always remains safe and compliant.

Costs

Harvest Healthcare’s products can minimise lifetime costs, over 5 years we have been proven to reduce costs by 25%.

• Our products are designed for Care Homes so are neither over or under engineered, many come with a 5-year warranty as we believe in the quality of our products.
• We give careful product selection advice, resulting in the minimum possible spend whilst delivering the best outcome.
• Planned preventative maintenance maximises the life of equipment, reducing breakdowns and call-outs.
• If you do experience a breakdown, we train local maintenance people to carry out simple repairs or provide troubleshooting by phone.
• We offer a mattress exchange programme, reducing unnecessary call outs and never leaving you without a mattress, minimising costs and ensuring patient comfort.

Care

Harvest Healthcare can offer better clinical outcomes.

• Correct product selection minimises pressure ulcer development.
• Staff are trained to use the products correctly meaning the equipment performs for longer.

Our products are designed to help control infection using flush headboards and welded mattress seams.

We have fall reduction products to improve safety.

• Our Guardian Wireless Falls Reduction System and Vigilant System alerts staff when residents are out of bed via the nurse call system.
• The Woburn Ultra-Low bed goes close to the floor, so if a patient rolls out of the bed they roll safely onto a crash mat.
