With ABENA Nova, residents enjoy better sleep and their quality of life can be improved
The staff at Rise Nursing Home in Rødekro, Denmark, uses ABENA Nova to support several residents. This enhances the quality of life for each resident and enables caregivers to better plan and manage their care tasks.
Nurse Mette Damgaard Christensen has been an employee at Rise Nursing Home in Aabenraa Municipality for over a year and has previously worked in the geriatric ward. When asked about the benefits of ABENA Nova for residential care, she says:
“We use ABENA Nova for particular residents, such as those who often experience leakage during the night. By using ABENA Nova, we can ensure the residents a good night’s sleep without worrying about getting wet, and we do not need to disturb them by manually checking their incontinence products. This enables residents to sleep better, improving their quality of life.”
Simplicity guides the way
One of the advantages of ABENA Nova is the integrated sensor, which makes it easy and intuitive to start using the product. The incontinence product is applied as usual, and the attached clip sends information to the caregiver’s smartphone. The app also notifies the caregiver on their smartphone when the incontinence product needs to be changed.
These straightforward steps help staff eliminate concerns about leakages. Simplicity is key to successfully integrating welfare technology into a busy workday. Moreover, the intelligent incontinence product offers additional benefits:
“ABENA Nova also helps assess a resident’s need for incontinence products. If we determine that a resident may require an allocation for such products, we can use ABENA Nova during the assessment process to analyze their needs and collect data that supports the case for the allocation,” states Mette’s colleague, Line Bjørnskov, Operations Manager at Rise Nursing Home.
A proactive collaborator
At ABENA, we believe that close collaboration is key to unlocking the full potential of our intelligent incontinence product. Therefore, we value our collaborations highly, and thankfully, our customers recognize and appreciate that commitment.
“The collaboration with ABENA is excellent. They’re always just a call away with prompt answers and proactive solutions. Their close support gives us a strong sense of security,” says Line Bjørnskov and concludes:
“Overall, this allows us to provide residents with greater dignity; a fundamental right for everyone. That’s why we use ABENA Nova.”
Incontinence is the involuntary loss or leakage of urine or feces. Incontinence can affect anyone and can have various causes. It is not a disease, but a symptom.
