Additionally, Baker & Cunningham, LLP has successfully obtained favorable settlements for two different class actions related to unpaid overtime in California in the last six months alone.

Baker & Cunningham, LLP represents employees in a variety of different employment law matters, most frequently related to employment discrimination, unpaid wages & overtime, and CA Labor Board claims. In 2012, the most frequent types of workers the firm represented in overtime claims were plumbers, mechanics, in-home nurses, as well as several other types of ?piece rate?, ?flag rate? or ?commission based? workers. Employees who bring successful claims for unpaid overtime in California are entitled to recover all unpaid wages, waiting time penalties, interest, and attorneys? fees.

Looking forward to 2013, the firm expects to file even more disability discrimination related complaints than in previous years. In California, victims of disability discrimination are entitled to recover compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, attorneys? fees, and punitive damages.

Salus Homecare, an established provider of home care, has launched a new line of home-based services, providing skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and medical social services. When these medical services are combined with Salus Homecare’s non-medical caregiving services, families will experience the convenience of having a ?one-source? approach for all their home-based needs.

?We realize the need for home care services can often emerge out of a crisis situation or as the culmination of a longer-term decision process,? explained Mark Mortensen, CEO of Salus. ?At that critical time, a family may not be able to make a true assessment of what they need ? a licensed nurse, a personal caregiver, or a combination of both. This is compounded by the fact that these needs change on a regular basis. Our intent is to simplify the process with our new program called ONE CALL? by Salus. With just one phone call to Salus, our clients now have access to a full range of home-based medical health care and non-medical caregiving services, allowing Salus to coordinate these services according to those changing needs.?

This approach provides a higher level of continuity of services, according to Mortensen. With Salus, those in need of home care benefit from the convenience of having one trusted source to manage all of their home care services. This helps to minimize the effect of what has historically been a disjointed care-delivery process in the home.

The levels of support now offered by Salus Home Health include two important offerings:

a) Doctor prescribed medical services such as skilled nursing, rehabilitation and medical social services;

b) Non-medical caregiving services, such as assistance with activities of daily living.

When these services are managed by one source, the recipient benefits in two ways. First, they have access to a breadth of services to address immediate needs. Second, they can trust those services to be modified as those needs evolve.

?We intend to develop this new division on the same philosophy with which we have built our overall business; that is, treating the needs of our clients and patients as if they were our own family members or friends,? explained Mortensen. ?With ONE CALL by Salus, we are offering a unique, one-source approach for both home healthcare and caregiving needs. This firmly addresses what has been a void in the industry ? the lack of coordination between skilled nursing (medical) and home caregiving (non-medical).?

Salus Home Health Services offers coverage in California, including Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura and San Diego counties. Combined services are also offered in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Rifton, NY (PRWEB) July 06, 2012

Product designers at New York-based manufacturer Rifton Equipment are announcing today the launch of a new patient mobility device. Combining three discrete functions in one compact, ultra-light frame, the TRAM allows a single caregiver to assist a patient with:

1. Seated transfers with no under-body sling (ideal for toileting)

2. Sit-to-stand lifts

3. Supported ambulation

?We wanted to create a device durable enough to handle a wide range of patient sizes and capabilities in an institutional setting yet small enough to permit easy maneuvers in the home,? says Kirk Wareham, Rifton?s Operations Manager who coordinates new product design for the company.

At just over 70 pounds and featuring a telescoping lift column, the TRAM?s compact, ultra-light frame permits superior maneuverability in tight spaces and its patent-pending body support system and low profile provides patients with the security and dignity of unobstructed eye contact with their caregivers and surroundings.

?The TRAM will be attractive for several different types of patients: geriatric patients in skilled nursing facilities or at home, non-ambulatory adults with developmental disabilities, post-op patients in the hospital setting who need early mobilization, and victims of traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury,? says Clare Stober, Rifton’s creative director for marketing. ?We feel there is nothing else like it available today.?

Like all Rifton products, the TRAM was designed and is manufactured entirely in the US at its New York facilities.
