Ty Ceirios Leads the Way as the First Independent Care Home in the UK to Install Carlble on Every Bed

Ty Ceirios Care Home has become the first independent care home in the United Kingdom to install a Carlble cable management unit on every profile bed, demonstrating its commitment to staff safety, resident care, and proactive risk management.

The installation marks a significant step forward in addressing an often-overlooked manual handling challenge faced by care staff every day. Profile beds are essential pieces of equipment within care settings, but the cables associated with them are frequently left trailing on the floor or secured directly to the bed frame, creating potential risks for both equipment damage and awkward manual handling.

Carlble was specifically designed to tackle this issue by safely managing bed cables underneath the bed, keeping them clear of hoists and other moving equipment. By preventing cables from becoming entangled or damaged, Carlble helps reduce the need for staff to repeatedly bend, reach, or reposition cables during routine care activities.

A preventative, not reactive, approach

Rather than waiting for incidents, equipment failures, or injuries to occur, Ty Ceirios has taken a preventative approach. By fitting a Carlble to every profile bed, the home has demonstrated its commitment to reducing workplace risks before they become problems.

Deputy Manager Kirsty proudly received a certificate on behalf of the home in recognition of this achievement. The certificate acknowledges Ty Ceirios as:

The First Independent Care Home in the United Kingdom to Install a Carlble on Every Bed.

Practical solutions, real impact

Speaking about the installation, the team highlighted the importance of identifying practical solutions that improve both staff wellbeing and resident care. By eliminating unnecessary cable-related hazards, staff can focus more on delivering high-quality care and less on managing equipment issues.

Carlble was invented by manual handling trainer Carl Jones after witnessing first-hand the challenges care staff face when working around profile beds. The simple but effective solution is designed specifically for care and healthcare environments, helping to prevent cable damage caused by hoists while reducing awkward manual handling tasks.

Setting an example for the sector

Ty Ceirios' decision to adopt Carlble throughout the home sets a positive example for the wider care sector. As care providers continue to look for ways to improve safety, efficiency, and staff wellbeing, preventative measures such as effective cable management can make a meaningful difference.

The team at Ty Ceirios should be congratulated for their forward-thinking approach and their commitment to creating a safer environment for both residents and staff.
