Occupational Therapy Equipment Guide: Baths, Beds & Hoists for Safer, Smarter Care

The Essential Guide to Occupational Therapy Equipment: Bathing, Beds and Hoists

By 24 NRG Group | Serving OTs Across the UK

Occupational Therapists (OTs) are crucial in supporting individuals with mobility challenges, disabilities, and age-related conditions. Selecting the right occupational therapy equipment, from assisted baths to profiling beds and hoists is essential in delivering safe, dignified care that enhances quality of life.

At 24 NRG Group, we partner with OTs to supply, install, and support advanced care equipment across the UK. Here’s what OTs should consider when selecting assisted bathing systems, profiling beds, and mobile hoists, and how our team can help.

🛁 Assisted Bathing Equipment for Occupational Therapists

Assisted baths are a cornerstone of safe hygiene routines in both care homes and domestic settings. The right bathing system must align with the client’s physical needs and sensory sensitivities, while also ensuring safety for carers.

What OTs Consider:

  • Mobility Support: Can the client safely transfer with or without assistance?

  • Safety Features: Anti-slip surfaces, thermostatic temperature control, grab rails, emergency call systems.

  • Transfer Accessibility: Low-threshold doors, bath lift compatibility, space for carers.

  • Sensory Needs: Temperature regulation, calming air spa systems, lighting, and music options.

  • Cleaning & Maintenance: Antimicrobial surfaces, drainage systems, easy-clean designs.

What 24 NRG Group Offers:

  • Walk-in, reclining, and height-adjustable assisted baths

  • Nationwide installation by trained engineers

  • Maintenance plans for long-term reliability

  • Expert guidance tailored to occupational therapy assessments

🛏️ Profiling Beds That Prioritise Comfort and Pressure Care

Profiling beds are vital occupational therapy equipment for clients who need support with repositioning, pressure relief, and assisted transfers. The correct bed enhances comfort, reduces the risk of injuries, and supports long-term health outcomes.

What OTs Consider:

  • Physical Function: Can the client adjust themselves independently?

  • Bed Adjustability: Multi-positioning features for clinical and comfort needs.

  • Pressure Relief: Compatibility with specialist mattresses to reduce skin breakdown.

  • Safety Compliance: Side rails, low-bed options, entrapment prevention.

  • Environment: Room size, floor surfaces, and access for carers.

What 24 NRG Group Offers:

  • Profiling beds for home care, care homes, and hospitals

  • Aesthetic designs for dignity and discretion

  • Delivery, setup, and ongoing support services

  • Solutions for complex care and bariatric clients

🏥 Mobile Hoists for Safe and Dignified Transfers

When mobility is limited, mobile hoists provide essential support for safe transfers between bed, bath, chair, and toilet. They are an indispensable part of any OT’s toolkit for patient handling.

What OTs Consider:

  • Patient Capabilities: Weight-bearing ability, cognition, and cooperation level.

  • Transfer Needs: Type (bed to chair, toileting, bathing) and frequency.

  • Environment: Room dimensions, flooring, and turning space.

  • Hoist Types: Mobile, standing, ceiling-track, bariatric, or bath hoists.

  • Ease of Use: Controls, battery life, sling compatibility, and carer training.

What 24 NRG Group Offers:

  • Mobile and ceiling hoists with various load capacities

  • Standing aids and bariatric solutions

  • Training for carers and ongoing maintenance

  • Equipment demonstrations for OT teams
