Help us replace our beds so we can keep patients comfortable and bring togetherness to families when it matters most.
We need to replace all 15 beds in our Inpatient Unit and the bed in our Sunflower Living Well Centre
“These specialist beds are more than just equipment — they’re what allow us to give our patients the comfort, dignity, and compassionate care they truly deserve” — Carly & Caroline, East Cheshire Hospice Nurses
These beds are the most vital piece of equipment in end-of-life care. They bring comfort, dignity, and safety to those at their most vulnerable. The specialist mattresses help prevent bedsores by reducing pressure points. The adjustable bed helps patients find the most comfortable and supportive position and helps nurses reposition patients to relieve pain and manage breathlessness.
But the beds also do so much more than that.
These beds make it possible for patients to feel more at home and more connected with their loved ones. A fully adjustable bed means patients can chat face-to-face with their loved ones. Lowering the side rails makes it easier to hold hands with someone dear. The beds are also easy to move and steer so patients in bed can still enjoy being in the garden or be included in activities in the Family Room.
They truly are so much more than just a bed.
