Healthcare

Gardening is an enjoyable pastime, but one that puts a strain on many joints (back, wrists, knees, ankles, legs).

This light and regular physical activity can aid mobility, coordination and muscle strength of residents. It can help prevent age-related physical decline and promote physical and emotional well-being.

Our raised planter enables different people suffering from health problems to continue gardening without running the risk of losing their balance due to the dizziness that can happen with traditional gardening methods.

The 90 cm working height is designed for a person in a standing or seated position and corresponds to the work surfaces of most modern kitchen tops.

The BIOPRATIC raised planter can contribute to effective therapy for people with Alzheimer’s disease or cognitive impairment. Gardening stimulates all the senses and working with the healthcare staff can help to significantly improve a person’s progress.

Here are a few of the mental health benefits of gardening activities:

• Working on memory,
• Relations with other people through social interaction,
• Reduction in stress and anxiety with a calming effect,
• Improved mood and emotional well-being (rediscovering the scents of flowers, plants, getting your hands back into the soil, etc.)

The Biopratic autonomous planter with its solar-powered drip watering system will ensure you grow beautiful plants and will provide an estimated 5 to 8 weeks of autonomy, depending on your geographical location.
The activities departments will be able to concentrate fully on their core duties, without having to worry about who’s going to water the garden at weekends or during the summer holidays.

The excellent stability of the Biopratic planter means that users feel safe and staff don’t have to worry about the risk of falling.

Occupational therapists and psychomotor therapists can also use our planters to get residents to work on specific workshops, all designed to promote relaxation and social interaction.

Our autonomous planters can also enhance your establishments and to secure certain areas.

Our wide range of colours and our different finishes help to brighten up your establishments such as retirement homes, schools for disabled children, care homes, independent living residences or any other healthcare establishment.
