Comfort. Convenience. Compliance

Space Tables are fully adjustable and wheelchair accessible to accommodate the needs of each individual. Height adjustability enables every resident to dine with dignity. Proper table height protects resident health by reducing shoulder, arm, and neck strain, as well as boosting self-esteem. One person can adjust, tilt, and move Space Tables without lifting, saving staff time and preventing injury.

Eyeglass Identification

Eyeglass Rescue’s Identification Sleeves fit over the temple bar of a resident’s eyewear. When attached, your staff can identify the owner of the eyeglasses by a unique code printed on the sleeve. The sleeves are comfortable and essentially invisible when worn. Eyeglass Rescue is a simple, low-cost solution that eliminates resident inconvenience, saves staff time identifying found eyeglasses, and the expense of replacing lost eyewear.

A chart listing all the Identification Numbers on the sleeves in your facility’s order is included. When glasses are found, a staff member matches the Identification Number on the chart to that on the eyeglasses to identify the owner.
