The truth about contract beds – Budget cuts in the healthcare industry
The health of an individual is one of the most important things there is. There are many factors that dictate the overall health and well-being of a person, but one particular such factor that we specialise in, is comfort. We take the rest and recovery of patients very, very seriously.
In past blogs, Millbrook Contract Beds has engaged with the issues facing the healthcare industry in terms of looking after people who suffer from ailments or illness; from those in residential care to those in hospital. In recent news, it has been reported that planned cost-cutting measures will savage the healthcare industry quite badly in the coming months. The plan is to see more patients treated at home instead of hospital, and even cuts to jobs and beds in the hospitals themselves has not been ruled out either. Health trusts and government studies show that the quickest way to have an impact on reducing budgets is staff. The potential impact on patient care is substantial thanks to these budget cuts (necessary or not).
If more patients are due to get their treatment at home and not in a hospital or healthcare residence then it is highly likely that the demand for better equipped home care contract bedroom furniture will be required. So as budget cuts look set to scale back on the number of beds available to residents and patients, Millbrook would like to assure people that it is always here as an alternative support for healthcare contract bed solutions.
This is the truth about what we do…
We provide industries with ways of taking care of the people they put up for a night, a week, a month, or even indefinitely. Our contract beds are about enduring and providing uncompromising comfort for those that are guests, patients or residents.
Millbrook Contract Beds specialises in healthcare contract beds and has been supplying the healthcare industry and professions with our expertise and products for a good 60 years now. Our belief is that if patients need expert care then substandard surroundings just will not do, especially if they will be treated from home.
The two contract beds we offer for this industry are The Therapy and The Purity.
Without performing a live demonstration, we cannot fully express here just how advanced and superior these healthcare beds are for people for need to experience varying degrees of comfort, independence and assistance.
For instance, The Therapy is the finest adjustable contract bed available as far as we’re concerned! Its control function is a five way adjustable positioning system that can be operated via handset control giving complete autonomy to the user. With an added massage option it really is the cutting edge. It sums up the three ‘R’ words; recline, relaxation and recovery.
We’ll have to wait and see how these budget cuts affect the healthcare industry and what consequences they may have on quality of patient care but Millbrook Contract Beds will always be able to provide a safety net when it comes to home care alternatives with our contract bed options.
Quality of care with Millbrook Contract Beds
The media spotlight has been on the healthcare industry for the past few months, particularly adult social care homes. Reports of mismanagement and poor quality care for elderly or disabled residents in a very small minority of care homes were hot potato topics in the news early this year, prompting the need on behalf of regulatory bodies and the government to have a review of the healthcare industry as a whole.
Millbrook Contract Beds has been researching national statistics that show a steep rise in the demand for adult social care, yet more cutbacks in this area and recent controversy over the suitability of some care facilities have not helped matters improve.
When it comes to taking care of people there needs to be an emphasis on the quality of care more than anything else. Unfortunately, budgetary restrictions can equal a limited number of options for healthcare professionals. However, there is a solution to one piece of this puzzling dilemma.
Our Healthcare Collection has been designed to be ideal for both care and residential homes as well as provide a cost effective solution to help combat affordability restrictions. Our 60 years plus experience has given us a great deal of time to communicate with and understand the healthcare industry, its needs and its necessities.
Pundits have stated that the key to improved quality of care in homes across the UK is dependent upon the use of modernised, sanitary facilities and fully trained and experienced care workers. Of course one of the most important factors in any care home is the contract bedroom furniture. This is after all supposed to be a home to its residents. One of the most shocking things seen in the documentaries and news reports about the state of a minority care homes for the elderly and the disabled was the condition of some of the rooms. Second hand furniture, unwashed bedding, collapsing bed frames, filthy floors and walls, not enough space per room etc. These are such crucial parts to maintaining a person’s well-being, dignity and overall health that they should not be considered as trivial things.
Millbrook Contract Beds has always manufactured its contract beds with due attention to the people each collection is designed for – in the case of our Healthcare Collection our task was to design beds that would be the optimal choices for those who needed support, comfort and control during recovery and rest. The Therapy presents an exemplary example of how a bed for healthcare industries should function. It is an adjustable pocket spring bed that includes het sensitive memory foam and fully responds to body contours. Its five-way adjustable position operated by a handset control gives the freedom of control back to the user. The massage option is a fantastic addition to this bed that helps to sooth and relax.

Adjustable contract beds make a big difference in the healthcare industry
Residential homes and care facilities for the elderly or the sick have been in the news a lot recently for all sorts of reasons. One of the primary issues raised about today’s healthcare services in UK was quality of care. This is of course crucial to any area of the healthcare industry. Millbrook contract beds has been manufacturing and supplying industries like this for over 60 years now and we have come to understand how to produce the finest quality contract beds for residential and private care.
Why is the contract bed so important in this industry?
Our experience in the hospitality sector differs somewhat to our experience in the healthcare sector as the requirements of a healthcare contract bed over a hotel bed are quite substantial. As a residential home or care facility it is important to prioritise what is needed from the beds in terms of function. Luxury and refinement are important in contract bedroom furniture but when it comes to care and the nursing of illness or ailments it has to be more than just a bed.
Millbrook’s design philosophy has created and crafted the Healthcare Collection with this in mind.

Healthcare contract beds – The Therapy
Millbrook Contract Beds is constantly trying to pave the way in the design and functionality of its contract beds. It is important to us that all of our contract bed collections are of the highest quality and standards. Of course, every contract bed supplier would say this, but we really mean it. This can be proven and evidenced by our Healthcare Collection. In the last blog we took you through the benefits of The Purity and why it is ideal for mature guests or guests with ailments, or even just hotel guests looking to recline, relax and feel pampered.
Hoteliers understand the importance of contract bedroom furniture as much as we do, therefore we must live up to their expectations and demands. In today’s blog we are looking at The Therapy, the sister model to The Purity. So why is this contract bed so good?
Without giving a direct demonstration, it cannot be fully expressed on how advanced these healthcare beds are. The Therapy is the finest adjustable bed going as far as contract bedroom furniture goes.
Like The Purity it is an adjustable bed that has a control function tailored to suit the individual needs of the person using it for reclining, relaxation and recovery. It operates through a five way adjustable positioning system that can be accessed and adjusted by a handset control. As with The Purity, The Therapy has the massage option which allows for an entirely blissful experience.
The Therapy contract bed
The Therapy is a pocket spring bed that is inclusive of heat sensitive visco memory foam. Visco memory foam is polyurethane that has additional chemicals applied to it in order to increase viscosity and density. This higher-density allows for the foam to become pressure-sensitive, moulding to the contours and shape of the person’s body that returns to its original shape once the pressure is alleviated. This mattress is incredibly beneficial to those who suffer from back pain or have psychical ailments. The reason it is called The Therapy is that it is specifically designed to facilitate good health with full responsiveness to body contour moulding.
The Healthcare Collection has benefited the hotel and hospitality industry as much as it has the healthcare industry. What is important to recognise in this is that some guests require that much more comfort than others, especially if they older or suffer from disability or illness. Hotels should cater to everyone and you really can’t go wrong with a Therapy in your rooms – one of the finest pieces of contract bedroom furniture you can get your hands on. Millbrook Contract Beds is always available to give advice and talk you through contract bed browsing and buying. For more information contact us here.

Contract beds for the elderly and disabled
In the nursing and healthcare industry caring for the elderly is a big part of the job. Nursing homes, retirement villages and residential care homes specialise in this particular area. As a person gets older they find themselves experiencing and facing various physical ailments that hamper their health and affect their quality of life. A common struggle amongst more mature people is that they suffer with back problems and severe disabilities; a contributing factor to this is that the contract beds they sleep in are not designed to support and aide them appropriately enough.
It is important in the nursing and healthcare industry to accommodate and understand the needs and requirements of your residents/patients. Caring for them means looking after their well-being and it is common for elderly people to spend time napping, resting and recovering. They need to be able to do this in the right kind of quality and comfort.
Contract beds for the healthcare industry
Millbrook contract beds understand this need and the importance of quality and comfort factors in contract beds more than anyone. That’s why the collections we offer cater to these scenarios, ailments and industries.
As a retirement or residential care home it is paramount that the contract beds should be functional and well designed. Adjustable contract beds are the finest choice in this regard as they offer up refinement, relaxation, the opportunities for recuperation and a standard of luxury that can only benefit someone of an ailing disposition.
Millbrook Contract Beds offers its Healthcare collection as the perfect choice for the elderly or unable. There are two contract beds in the collection that tailor themselves to the needs of a patient/resident or guest that suffers from any kind of physical discomfort.
The Therapy is a contract bed that is highly beneficial to health and fully responsive to body contours. It has a five way adjustable position, operated by handset control, which gives independence to the person sleeping in it. The pocket spring mattress has a heat sensitive vicso memory foam feature that ensures absolute comfort and soothing bliss. The Therapy comes with a massage option also; perfect for all the little aches and pains.
The Therapy contract bed
The Purity has been described as “an opulent action bed” that, as with The Therapy, comes with the five way adjustable action and integral handset control. It has a choice of comfort levels too. This contract bed is a sophisticated brand of luxury and comes available with smart corner protectors and leg design. All the care someone might need in a bed and at the touch of a button.
The Purity contract bed
As a care home or care service it is vital to invest in contract beds that encourage good sleep and help to sustain frail or disabled bodies in a tranquil harmony. You must keep up and upgrade your facilities in the wake of other competitors increasing their numbers due to the quality facilities that they have for use in their homes. Old age pensioners and retired persons search for a home that reflects in its facilities, particularly its beds, a consideration for age and immobility. The Healthcare collection exemplifies high standards of care.
A contract bed developed and designed for healthcare industries can be the difference between improved or worsened health, sometimes, in even more severe cases, it can be the difference between a longer or shorter life. The Therapy and the Purity could be the key factors in making a residential care facility or nursing home, the place worth retiring too.
