The US census has found that over 1.9 million people in the United States are over ninety years old. This fact shows that a need for more assisted living centers and other health care facilities is going to continue to increase.
The current amount of this kind of living space has been called inadequate in larger population centers such as New York City. Not only is there a shortage of living space for the future nonagenarians and those who are younger, the number of health care workers will also be feeling the strain. This can already be seen and there doesn’t seem to be any real plans to do much about it.
The average rehab centers, nursing homes and hospitals may be understaffed but that shouldn’t prevent basic care duties like supplying clean bed clothes and towels. One way to increase efficiency in this area is to use motorized carts to help employees move the large carts that carry the folded laundry to the patient’s rooms.
These carts have variable speeds and a smooth operation that makes handling them in tight hallways safe and secure. There is also an emergency stop switch on the handle that ensures both employee and visitor safety when maneuvering in tight hallways during visiting hours. The battery powered cart can work for sixteen hours straight and it only takes one person to handle it.
There is an adjustable customized attachment that can be used to link this motorized cart to any number of different carts and pieces of equipment. The battery powered cart is also designed to look less industrial than other products to make it blend in better with the health care facility surroundings.
