Levin Furniture is a family-owned furniture retailer chain with 35 locations in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The current president, Robert Levin, has upheld the Levin family tradition of acknowledging the importance of excellent service, quality products, and reasonable pricing for their customers. In addition, the company is known for its commitment to assisting the local communities by actively participating in community events and fundraisers, as well as donating to charitable causes. One charitable cause is the “Beds 4 Kids” initiative, which partners Levin Furniture with the Cleveland Food Bank (CFB). When a customer orders a new mattress, they have the option to sign up for the removal or non-removal of their old mattress. The mattresses removed by the delivery team are donated to the CFB where they are inspected and sanitized prior to distributing them to less fortunate children. I was fortunate enough to participate in the Operation Backpack event at the Levin Furniture location in Avon, Ohio. Operation Backpack campaigns at events countrywide to collect back to school supplies, including backpacks, for homeless children that need basic supplies for their first day of school.…
Kevin’s four-year-old daughter kept rolling off her “big girl” bed and in his review, the only railings available at a reasonable price were unstable, unsafe and unreliable.

Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank founded the Home Depot in 1978. Along with investment banker Ken Langone and merchandising expert Pat Farrah, the founder’s vision of one-stop shopping for the do-it-yourselfer became a reality when they opened the first two Home Depot stores on June 22, 1979, in Atlanta, Georgia. The first stores, at around 60,000 square feet each, were enormous warehouses that dwarfed the competition and stocked 25,000 SKUs, much more than the average hardware store at that time. Empty boxes piled high on the shelves gave the illusion of even more product and in only one year they opened a 4th store in Atlanta and the company had annual sales…

Perform a check for safety and comfort. Turn the resident so the her legs are over the edge of the bed. Lower the lift so that the Resident is just sitting on the bed and so the there is still tension on the straps of the sling. Put on the resident's shoes, being careful to avoid touching the bottoms of the shoes. Raise the lift and position the client over the w/c. As you lower the client into the w/c, push on the crossed straps, hold the bar away from the resident's face, and guide her feet, meanwhile, your coworker tips the w/c to ensure the client lands is positioned properly in the chair. Ask L if she is comfortable in that seated position. If she is, unhook the sling from the lift, and tuck/tie the sling away, as it will remain under her until she lies down…

The imaginary invention I like the most is “Dreamaker Pillow”. The purpose of Dreamaker Pillow is to help people with insomnia by creating dreams. All you have to do to make a dream is downloading your favorite scenes from movies onto cell phone, taking selfies and sleeping with Dreamaker Pillow. This will make it easier to sleep. One thing I like about this pillow is that I can create my own dreams. Though it takes time to create dreams without given plots. But this pillow is definitely going to help me with my sleep problem.…

Equipment; If you were in a care home for elderly people and they couldn’t use their legs or get up from sitting down you would have to use a hoist to help them up which is more time consuming, but it is against the law to drag lift them onto their feet. Therefore that is why staff have to use hoists, if a member of staff wanted to use the hoist to help someone up and it was broken this would be poor maintained and this could result in injury.…
Example: helping client of the bed. If drag lifted it can injure a client and carer can be…
Working in the health care field I have choose to do an expanded definition of a Hoyer Lift. What is a Hoyer Llift you ask? A Hoyer Lift is a piece of equipment that is used to aide a person getting from one spot to another, for example a person from bed to a wheelchair. To properly use a Hoyer Lift, a nurse aid would get the sling that would properly fit for the person that is in need to be transferred. Once the aid has the sling, he or she will put the sling around the person attaching the straps to the knobs on the Hoyer Lift. Once the aid makes sure that the person is secured in the sling and attached to the Hoyer Lift then the person is ready to be transferred to a wheel chair, bed side comade, or a regular chair. There are a couple different kinds of Hoyer Lifts. There are electric, hydraulic, bariatric, standing, and sitting lifts. In the nursing home that I worked in I used an electric Hoyer, but in home health I mainly use hydraulic Hoyer. Earlier this year was the first time I had used a standing Hoyer. I find that a standing Hoyer is a little easier to use than a regular Hoyer. The bariatric Hoyer is made for people that weight more than the average person, up to 1000 pounds. Hoyer lifts can look different, but they all have the same purpose, to help a person to get from one spot to…

The aim of the project is to find a manual handling aid that will effectively assist a service user to get off the floor if they have a fall. I am basing the project on the care home where I work. I work in a residential home that supports 20 people. We have no means of getting manual handling equipment such as a hoist or stand aid in the lift so I have decided to look into purchasing an Elk. This device will assist a service user off the floor in a limited space effectively.…
