Again we would like to share this success story with you. Our demented father sleeps again at night after he got a ThevoVital mattress. Our father has dementia and has good and bad times. But especially at night, our mother had bad nights without sleep. Our father has been very troubled by sleep apnea and has therefore not oxygenated enough. With the resulted that he slept most of the day. Similarly, he could not lie still for the night and his quilt was turned around in the bed. At the same time he has always had one leg outside the bed and turned against the bedside. Now our father is awake during the day and is quiet at night and is much more manageable. The quilt is quiet at night and he has now a quiet breathing at night. He does not use any Cepap mask anymore. The reason that I have ThevoVital mattress home for our father, is that I am employed in Sønderborg municipality as District nurse and know the effect from my professional work. Sincerely Stine Sievertsen District nurse

Svend is 62 years old and has Parkinson's disease. Before he got ThevoVital mattress he was awake 3-4 times a night and did not want go to bed again. He also had to use diapers. Besides, when he was walking he fell over and therefore had many bruises and wounds After 14 days of use of the mattress, there has been clear progress for Svend. He is not awake during the night but sleeps most of the time straight through the whole night. He does not use diapers anymore and if he goes to the toilet, he goes straight back to bed. Overall he sleeps much better, more regularly and feel much happier. Svend has got a much better quality of life by using ThevoVital.

It's been an amazing change for her to sleep on the mobility bed ThevoVital for pasients with dementia. She had at better night sleep already the first night, and we have reduced her use of medications. The application for moving her to another resident with protected areas has been withdrawn.

Ganz ohne schädliche Nebenwirdkungen können massive Schlafstörungen dementer Mitbewohner unserer Pflegeeinrichtung deutlich gelindert werden. Ein zusätzlicher positiver Nebeneffekt sei, dass es dadurch zu einer merklichen Entlastung des Pflegepersonals in der Nacht komme.

Ein großes Problem war die stete Unruhe. Selbst nachts kam meine Mutter (99) nicht mehr zur Ruhe. An durchgehenden Schlaf war nicht mehr zu denken. Auch ich machte nächtelang kein Auge mehr zu, ich war am Ende meiner Kräfte! Die ThevoVital sorgt nun endlich für durchgehenden, entspannten Schlaf. Ich bin begeistert!

Man kann sagen, dass sich durch den Einsatz von Bewegungsbetten bei demenzkranken Menschen, das Schlafverhalten verbessert, der Nachtschlaf erholsamer wird und damit die Bereitschaft zu Tagesaktivitäten steigt. Ebenso wird das Sozialverhalten und die Zugänglichkeit der BewohnerInnen verbessert. Die Stunden, die tagsüber im Bett verbracht werden sinken und Sundowning Syndrome Verhalten kann verringert werden. In einzelnen Fällen nehmen auch autostimulative Effekte ab.

Vorher: Wenn ihre Mutter aufwachte, weil sie auf die Toilette musste, oder auch aus anderen Gründen, hatte sie danach Schwierigkeiten wieder einzuschlafen. Sie konnte am Morgen ihr Bett nicht selbst machen.
Nachher: Seit ihre Mutter auf ThevoVital schläft, bemerkt sie, dass ihre Mutter am Morgen länger schläft (in den letzten drei Nächten) und ausgeruhter erscheint, wenn sie aufwacht. Sie kann am Morgen ihr Bett wieder selbst machen.

Prior to the trial of the ThevoVital Mr. S was up several times a night, wandering and following his caregiver. He was very boisterous, disturbing the other residents. As the weeks went by, while sleeping on the Thevo Mattress, his periods of sound sleep increased. After a period of about 5 weeks on the ThevoVital mattress he was sleeping in his bed through the night. During the time he was sleeping through the night, a decrease in dementia was noticed. Sleep medications were reduced. Once Mr.S returned to his own bed, his old sleep habits returned.
