Skin and comfort
Time away from the wheelchair can support skin integrity and general comfort.
A change of position, without losing the day.
Our Acheeva beds give people a supported way to come out of their wheelchair for part of the day, as one piece of a wider postural management plan.
- Symmetrisleep support: supine, prone or side-lying
- Battery-adjusted height, back and bed angle
- Used alongside a physiotherapist-led plan
Working with physiotherapists.
We work alongside physiotherapists to use Acheeva beds as part of each person’s 24-hour postural management plan. The bed lets someone move out of their wheelchair into a supported position — supine, prone or side-lying — without stepping out of the day’s activities.
The beds are fully mobile, with battery-adjusted height, back and bed angles, so staff can bring someone into a group or individual activity at a comfortable position rather than leaving them apart from it.
How it can help
What a supported change of position can offer.
Communication and interaction
A supported, adjustable position can support communication and interaction during the session.
Continued participation
Being wheeled in at a comfortable height can support staying part of group or individual activities.
A wider postural plan
Regular use can support the goals of a broader physiotherapy or postural management plan.
How the beds are used
Part of the day, not apart from it.
Staff bring the bed to where the activity is happening, so a supported change of position doesn’t mean missing out on what the group is doing.
The Symmetrisleep positioning elements are set for each person, so the same bed can offer supine, prone or side-lying support depending on what suits them that day.
