Beautiful design and high quality A therapistsâ best friend. Working in a skilled nursing facility a gait belt is mandatory and is part of the uniform. Problem is that everyone is given a standard gait belt and they often get mixed up because they all look the same even if you put your name on it.This highly fashionable and high quality belt ensures that no one will mix yours up with anyone elseâs. I get complemented multiple times throughout the day on how unique it is. Patientâs even feel privileged to wear this…
