Waterlily (floral images), Windswept (rustling leaves), and Flower Shower (raindrops on blossoms) aim to capture the beauty of nature.

Compassion for all: Nurture’s Empath Recliner

Empath Recliner from Nurture considers both the patient and the caregiver as users of the chair. Nurture’s Director of Product Design, Alan Rheault says, “by putting ourselves in their shoes and being empathetic to the realities of both patients and caregivers, Empath creates a safer, higher quality healthcare experience for both. It is truly a complete healthcare solution.” For its latest product design, Nurture invested more than 2,000 hours of observation, photography and video research into what occurs between patient and caregiver as it relates to the recliner—a central component of patient care and recovery. This study of how recliners are used led Nurture to a simple conclusion—recliners needed to do more to help reduce risks to patients and caregivers.  Empath has optional dual folding arms that allow for easy patient transfer from either side and soft arm material helps reduce patient injuries. Long, easy –to-reach reclining paddles and an optional headrest give patients comfort and control. Sculpted grip arms assist in ingress and egress. Empath was honored with The Nightingale Award in the program sponsored by The Center for Health Design and Contract magazine during Healthcare Design .11.
