See What Our Customers Have to Say!

January 27th, 2010 by Derek

One of our customers, Eric Larsen, was astounded by the amount of assistance the Security Pole and Curve Grab Bar gave him. The Security Pole and Curve Grab Bar assisted him to stay safe in the bathroom and gave him the confidence to stand up safely. Here is his testimonial!

If the video doesn’t come up, here is the text version of Eric’s Testimonial

“Hi I’m Eric Larsen and I use a lot of the different things from Stander. The one thing that I really enjoy is the Security Pole and Curve Grab Bar because when I get into the bathroom, I have a hard time getting up and down off the toilet. It is in between my tub and my toilet to where I can not only use it to sit down but I can use it to get into the tub and get out of the tub. Without it there’s a good chance that I’d slip and fall because I have tile. The installation on it is fantastic because anybody can do it; even me, because I am partially crippled. I have to run around in my wheelchair. I was able to put it up while sitting in my wheelchair.”

Mind Blowing Statistics about Bed Rails!

December 14th, 2009 by Derek

Here are some mind blowing statistics from the AARP that may have you scared about Bed Rails! We’ll go over the risks and give solutions to keep you or your loved ones safe!

Unless used properly, bed rails can be dangerous. The facts:

* Between 1985 and 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration received 606 reports of people caught, trapped, or strangled in beds with rails.
* Of these, 378 died, 116 received a nonfatal injury, and 112 were not injured because caregivers intervened.
* Most of these people were frail, elderly or confused.

How do these deaths, injuries or near miss entrapments happen? People get caught or trapped between or within rails, between bed rails and the mattress, or between the rail and the head or footboard. Some fall when trying to climb over the rails.

But no one is saying never to use bed rails. They have their benefits. They may:

* Help a person turn in bed,
* Provide a handhold for getting out of bed,
* Provide a feeling of security,
* Reduce the risk of falling out of bed when the bed is being moved, and
* Provide easy access to bed controls.

Weighing the pros and cons isn’t always easy. The goal is to make the changes that are necessary to meet that person’s need for safety. Here are some ideas… (to read full article, click here)

Bed Rails from Stander, Inc. Provide all of the above features, designed to keep you or your loved ones safe from falls and entrapment. You can visit our site at www.stander.com! Check out our line of bed rails and see what is best for you!

Health Tips for Seniors

October 19th, 2009 by Derek

I recently came across a great resource for seniors to stay healthy, lose weight, and stay more active, and regain mobility. This program is newly founded on new research that busts the myths of regular dieting and exercise. It is not based on calorie intake or regular exercise, but rather the kind of calories you put in your body. It may seem odd at first, and to be honest, i was very skeptical about it. But as I watched the video and did further research, I found that it actually makes sense. Also, there are more videos that give conformation of this weight loss practice from very established doctors including Doctor Oz from the Dr. Oz Show. Check out these tips for seniors to stay healthy and active.

Learn Not To Fall! New Classes for the Elderly!

September 5th, 2009 by SuperAdmin

Falling out of bed or falling while walking is one of the leading causes of death and injury for elderly people. That’s why at Stander we feel safety bed rails, bath safety, and mobility aids are so important.

Another thing that can help is learning how not to fall. It seems strange, but falls among the elderly can be greatly reduced by taking classes. Just watch this fascinating video from ABC.

We couldn’t embed the video, but if you click on the picture, it will take you to the page. Researchers at the University of Illinois in Chicago have used some high tech equipment to study how people fall. They have taken that information and made a class for the seniors that teaches them how to avoid falling. The program claims more than a 90% reduction in falls after just four classes.

The only question is, where do I sign up?

Handicapped Man Embarrassed, No Mobility Aids in the Bathroom of Local Diner!

August 31st, 2009 by SuperAdmin

The other day, I ran across this video about a young man with cerebral palsy who is confined to a wheel chair. While eating at his favorite restaurant, he decided to use the bathroom. Unfortunately it was not accessible to those using mobility devices. His wheel chair wouldn’t fit through the door. Eventually he had to drag himself across the restroom floor to get to the toilet. Once he got to the toilet, there were no grab bars or bathroom safety devices to help him get onto the toilet.

He says he was humiliated and wants the restaurant to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which requires public businesses to allow access to people using mobility aids. Beyond the law, it’s just a good idea for customer service. Even people without severe disabilities that require wheel chairs or other mobility aids could use a sturdy grab bar in the bathroom.

Here’s the video of the poor guy who had to go through all of that. Now he and his dad are on a mission to get things changed. Hopefully he’ll never have to go through that again.

Stander offers a variety of bed related solutions to fit the needs of you or your loved one. Our bed rail line is the newest, most innovative line of safety bed rails on the market. We are constantly taking feedback and advice from the ones who are most important to us, our parents, grandparents, and you, the consumer. Standers’ products are excellent examples of listening to consumers and then creating mobility aids that meets their needs. Before creating the EZ Adjustable Bed Rail, Standers talked with consumers and healthcare professionals to find out what they would like to see in a home bed rails. Standers used the feedback to invent and patent the only bed rail on the market that adjusts in length after installation. This bed rail is also easily pivoted out of the way of the user, so that the bed can be made or the caregiver can attend to the user. Instead of resembling a hospital-type rail, the look and feel of the EZ Adjustable Bed Rail is something that most consumers feel comfortable using in their home.
