ARJO is dedicated, through its products and knowledge-spreading activities, to improving the quality of care.

ARJO has gained unrivalled knowledge of the practicalities of caring for the elderly from almost 50 years of contact with all aspects of nursing worldwide. By refining and channelling this knowledge into developing and manufacturing products, ARJO makes life easier and safer for residents, patients and carers. ARJO is committed to spreading its findings and helping to raise the quality of care. 

The Positive Eight

Sufficient space, the proper mechanical aids and the correct working techniques are decisive factors for the resident’s mobility and thereby the whole care process. In the ARJO Guidebook for Architects and Planners, you can find out how the “Positive Eight” promotes:

• better working conditions for nursing staff
• better quality of life for residents
• better return on investments made when building and refurbishing elderly care facilities and similar 

We listen

How does ARJO develop its products? ARJO is dedicated to designing equipment geared to the needs of the people who use them in everyday situations: the resident and the carer. Our aim is to develop technology that improves the quality of life for residents by enabling safer, more comfortable everyday hygiene routines. Our technology also creates optimum ergonomic working conditions for the carer, making routines less strenuous, more efficient, and minimising the risk of strain injuries.

Involved in care improvement

We are actively involved in furthering positive developments in the elderly care field. ARJO has promoted the concept of a ”non-lifting culture” for many years through our leaflets and publications.

ARJO is a participant, often as a consultant, in organisations that set national and international codes and regulations. This gives ARJO an influential role in ensuring high safety requirements for equipment and ensures its own equipment fully complies with current international and national codes.
