Requirements

No. Like most traditional Patient Lifts or Hoyer Lifts, a caregiver is required to operate the device. Once in the Patient Transfer Lift, a patient can operate the height using the remote only when stationary.

The operator or caregiver needs to be able to assist the patient into the transfer lift with some direction and guidance and, if necessary, assist in helping the patient get onto the seat. Lastly, they should be able to push the weight of the occupant in the chair.

The patient should be able to sit in an upright position on their own when seated in the lift chair.

The lift chair can be used on almost any hard floor surface โ€” Wood, Tile, Cement, and Blacktop are just a few examples.
