CareFirst Home Health, serving 340 homebound patients across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, was experiencing a high rate of caregiver musculoskeletal injuries from manual patient bathing — the leading cause of workers' compensation claims. Patient hygiene quality was also inconsistent, with many bedridden patients receiving inadequate bathing due to caregiver fatigue and physical limitations.

Patient hygiene quality was also inconsistent, with many bedridden patients receiving inadequate bathing due to caregiver fatigue and physical limitations.
CareFirst equipped its home health aides with the Bed Shower Wibby portable in-bed shower system. The Wibby's lightweight, self-contained design eliminated the need for manual lifting and repositioning during bathing, while delivering a complete shower experience for bedridden patients in their own homes.
