Home Safety Series: Part 2 - The Bedroom
Hello, lovely readers! We’re thrilled to continue our Home Safety Series at Bush Healthcare, moving from the bathroom’s safe sanctuary in Part 1 to the heart of rest and renewal: the bedroom. This is your space to unwind, recharge, and feel at ease, but for those with mobility challenges, navigating the bedroom can sometimes feel like a hurdle. No need to fret! With a sprinkle of clever solutions and our exclusive adjustable beds on display in our South Wales stores, we can transform your bedroom into a haven of safety and comfort. Let’s explore how to make your bedroom a secure retreat that nurtures independence and serenity.
The Importance of a Safe Bedroom
Your bedroom is more than just a place to sleep – it’s where you start and end each day. Yet, for those with limited mobility, arthritis, or recovery needs, tasks like getting in and out of bed or reaching for essentials can pose risks. At Bush Healthcare, we’ve been supporting South Wales families for over 40 years, creating accessible homes with solutions like our adjustable beds, which you can test in any of our stores such as Aberdare, Swansea, and Newport – a rare treat not found at most retailers! Our approach? Practical, stylish solutions that keep your bedroom warm, welcoming, and worry-free.
Practical Steps to Enhance Bedroom Safety
Inspired by our expertise and range of daily living aids and adjustable beds, here are some tailored tips to make your bedroom safer and more accessible.
Discover Adjustable Beds for Personalised Ease
Our adjustable beds are a highlight, and you can experience them first-hand in our South Wales storessuch as Aberdare, Swansea, or Newport – a unique offering that sets us apart. These electric beds let you tweak the backrest, leg rest, or height to suit your needs, making getting in and out of bed a breeze or finding the perfect position for rest or reading. Perfect for mobility challenges or pain relief, they’re a game-changer for independence. Pop in to try models like those on our Adjustable Beds page and feel the difference for yourself.
Add Bed Rails for Confident Movement
Bed rails offer a reliable grip to help you sit up, stand, or shift positions safely, ideal for those with balance concerns or recovering from surgery. These bed rails are prebuilt into many of our beds. Combine them with our Chair/Bed Raiser, to lift your bed to a more comfortable height, easing strain on joints. This duo makes daily transitions smoother and safer. Browse these aids here.
Bring Essentials Closer with Over-the-Bed Tables
Keep your essentials – think water, books, or medications – right at your fingertips with an over-the-bed table. These adjustable tables make eating, reading, or even working from bed effortless, reducing the need to stretch or move unnecessarily. Our team can suggest the best options during a free consultation, ensuring they fit your bed and lifestyle perfectly.
Boost Mobility with Handy Aids
Moving around the bedroom is simpler with aids like our Deluxe Handy Reacher, which lets you pick up items without bending or stretching. For extra stability, our Space LX Art Line Rollator, recently showcased on our blog for its chic design and robust support, helps you glide to the wardrobe or en-suite with ease. Check out these mobility aids here or learn more about the Space LX here.
Tidy Up and Light the Way
A clutter-free bedroom is a safer bedroom. Clear away loose rugs, cables, or misplaced furniture to create an open path from bed to door or bathroom. Brighten your space with bedside lamps or motion-sensor lights to guide nighttime steps. While we don’t provide lighting, our team can review your bedroom setup during a consultation, offering ideas to maximise safety and accessibility.
