The Simple Solution to a Thousand-Pound Problem: Introducing The Halo™

The Simple Solution to a Thousand-Pound Problem: Introducing The Halo™

The Hidden Cost of Care: Why Room Damage is Draining Your Budget

If you manage a care home, you know the daily struggle: beds are constantly on the move, and accidents happen. What seems like a minor knock from a castor, against a skirting board, a wall, or worse, an electrical socket, quickly becomes a major headache.

This isn’t just about wear and tear; it’s a critical financial and operational drain. Those small scuffs and impacts add up, creating a significant and often unpredictable burden on your care home maintenance budget.

At Harvest, we recognise that bed-related damage is one of the most persistent and costly issues in the sector. It’s time to stop paying thousands on repairs and lost revenue.

The Problem: Repair Bills and Decommissioned Rooms

For facilities striving for high occupancy and quality standards, the financial fallout of accidental bed impact is twofold:

  1. Soaring Repair Costs: The replacement of scuffed skirting boards, dented walls, or cracked fixtures consumes a large portion of your maintenance budget. Worse still, damaged electrical sockets pose an immediate safety risk, requiring urgent and expensive remediation.
  2. Lost Revenue from Decommissioned Rooms: When severe damage occurs, particularly to electrical sockets or fixtures, the room must be decommissioned immediately. Every day that the room is offline for repair represents lost potential revenue. Solving this problem quickly is not just about saving money on a repair bill; it’s about protecting your bottom line.

The Ingenious Answer: Introducing The Halo™

The Halo™ is our response to this persistent industry challenge. This innovative accessory is the smart, simple, and safe solution to bed-related asset protection.

The genius of The Halo™ lies in its simplicity. It’s a discreet, robust ring designed to fit beds with outboard castors measuring 50mm to 100mm. It works as a non-intrusive barrier, instantly shielding your assets from accidental collisions.
