RISE4Disability Kent 10th September 2025
Kay James and Jane Dolphin recently provided a free workshop at the RISE4DISABILITY event in Kent exploring how to assist someone's legs into the bed. We looked at Hospital Direct's manual leg lifting options and the Accora Ascenda chair bed and looked at the Arjo Sara Stedy and Sara Flex standing aids to ensure they were compatible with the Accora Ascenda to ensure that this product could meet longer term needs if the client's ability to mobilise reduced.
