A cuddle bed for Roxburghe House

Myself and my family would love to start fundraising for a cuddle bed for Roxburghe House in Aberdeen in memory of a very special man, Dave Adams. My Granda was transferred to Roxburghe House on Wednesday 15th September 2021 where he spent 2 days before peacefully passing away on Friday 17th. Roxburghe House only has 1 cuddle bed currently which sadly was being used at the time by another family so unfortunately we didn’t get the use of this. I would love if in memory of my granda we could raise enough money to get a second cuddle bed for more families to get these last special moments together.

The ‘cuddle’ bed is designed to allow a second person to lie beside their loved one to share a cuddle and offer comfort when they need it most.

The specialist bed creates a safe space where two people can be connected and share those very precious moments together, without the physical barriers of an ordinary bed. The bed does everything a Hospice bed needs to do such as offer adjustable settings for the patient’s comfort, and at the touch of a button it can widen to become a double bed that is safe for use by two people. It’s not just for couples, however, it can be used by parent and child, siblings, friends, the list goes on. Cuddling and physical touch have been shown to reduce stress, decrease pain and intensify bonds between people, and the ‘cuddle’ bed would allow patients and their loved ones this connection while receiving palliative care.

any donations will be greatly appreciated ❤️
