Wound Care Prevention for Assisted Living Facility
Repositioning residents no longer requires a team effort. SideLyer lets a single caregiver safely turn a resident with the touch of a button, cutting down on manual repositioning throughout the day.
Supporting Your Assisted Living Facility
SideLyer turns residents slowly and smoothly, giving caregivers easy access for wound care and hygiene without all the extra lifting and shifting:
Cuts pressure ulcer rates by 10-fold
Makes dressing changes and skin checks easier; caregivers can reach the areas they need without manually repositioning the resident
Gentle, regular turning gets blood flowing, especially in the legs and feet, much like passive movement does
Less hands-on handling means fewer chances for germs to spread
Wound Care for Skilled Nursing Facility: Reducing Staff Injury Claims by 28%
SideLyer benefits not just residents but also caregiving staff at your facility. By reducing the need for manual repositioning, SideLyer helps keep your care teams healthier and available where they're needed most.
Reduces staff injury claims due to resident repositioning by 28%
Improves compliance with repositioning protocols
Decreases staff fatigue and turnover
Is very easy to use
Reducing Costs
Pressure injuries are expensive to treat and even harder to reverse once they've developed, each one avoiding saving an estimated $21,000 in direct care costs. That means a single SideLyer unit can pay for itself after preventing just one pressure injury, often within the first few months of use. Beyond that upfront savings, facilities that invest in prevention tend to see the payoff show up in several places at once:
Lower spending on wound treatment, dressings, and related care
Fewer workers' compensation claims tied to manual repositioning injuries
Less turnover and overtime driven by staff burnout
A stronger reputation with families and referral sources for quality, proactive care
Who can benefit from SideLyer?
Residents with limited mobility or reduced sensation
Residents recovering after a hospital stay or surgery
Individuals at high risk of skin breakdown
Residents who spend extended time in bed
Aging residents with chronic conditions that affect circulation or skin integrity
Studies show that pressure-relieving devices can significantly reduce pressure injuries and start generating returns after 6 months. Let SideLyer take pressure injuries off your list, so your team can focus on helping residents live safely and comfortably.
