Equipment and furnishings to enhance safety and comfort:
You can give the gift of a good night's sleep
At the end of a long day, you know how lovely it is to go to sleep in a warm and comfortable bed on a comfy mattress. Your donation will help provide that comfort to the veterans, residents and adults with physical challenges served by Broadmead Care. Each electric bed costs $5,000 - they allow residents to adjust their position independently rather than wait for a busy staff person to be able to help them. They are also more comfortable and ease the strain on staff members providing care. Mattresses cost $470 each - ten mattresses are neeeded at Nigel House to replace others that have worn out. The new mattresses are more comfortable and are waterproof.
