Why we know this works

We love this course because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we see too many Hoyer lifts delivered to homes with no real training, then left unused in a corner while caregivers keep straining their backs. Can one person safely use a Hoyer lift at home? Yes, once you have been properly trained, and that is exactly what this 60 minute video provides: the parts of manual hydraulic and electric lifts, how each type works, and how to use them to move the person you are caring for safely and easily.

It is especially important for caregivers of people who cannot bear weight at all, including those with multiple sclerosis, other advanced neurological conditions, or a major surgical recovery. If your loved one can still stand partway with support, a full sling lift may be more than you need, and our Sit to Stand Lift for Home Use listing is worth a look first.
