Elderly Care

Nursing Homes

Our disposable repositioning tarps are specifically designed for nursing homes and hospice care facilities. They provide a safe, hygienic solution for moving and repositioning patients while maintaining dignity and comfort.

Shop DRT

Hospice

The DRT can be useful in hospice care because it may allow caregivers to reposition or transfer a patient with less lifting, pulling, and physical strain. This can be especially important for patients who are frail, bedbound, or experiencing pain.

Helps conserve energy

In hospice, the goal is often comfort rather than aggressive intervention. A smoother repositioning process can minimize unnecessary exertion for both the patient and caregivers.

Reduces pain and discomfort

Limiting repeated lifting and dragging can be helpful for patients with fragile skin, wounds, fractures, or significant pain.

Protects dignity

Repositioning can be performed more smoothly and with fewer people having to physically handle the patient.

Reduces caregiver injury

Using an appropriate repositioning aid can reduce the need for staff or family caregivers to lift a patient's full body weight.

Improves comfort

A repositioning tarp can help caregivers make gentle, controlled movements while minimizing unnecessary handling of the patient.

Makes routine repositioning easier

Small position changes—such as moving someone higher in bed or turning them—can be easier when the appropriate device and technique are used.

Supports infection control

A disposable device can be used for one patient and then discarded according to the facility's infection-control procedures, reducing concerns associated with sharing reusable equipment.
