As the age of the baby boomers draws ever closer to their twilight years, it’s easy to notice the increasing demand for health care, especially in home care. As people get older, it gets harder to navigate the treachery of the stairs, and for more extreme cases, just getting out of your chair or even your bed can be difficult. Portable patient lifts have become increasingly important in helping the elderly, and others with movement impairments, to get around a bit easier and increase the quality of life within their own homes.
Many patient lift systems look similar to a mechanics engine hoist, and the process is similar. A sling is carefully wrapped around the patient and attached to the device, which then uses a hydraulic system to carefully hoist the patient up. This is incredibly useful for those unable to get out of bed on their own, which can make necessary hygienic tasks like bathing or changing the sheets difficult when the patient is unable to stand or get out of bed on their own.
Many patient lifts aren’t just designed to pick you up and hold you. Some are designed to facilitate certain things to make life a bit easier, such as sitting down in your favorite recliner. The power lift chairs are designed to elevate and angle themselves to you which make it much easier to go from a standing to a sitting position and vice versa.
Physical health and exercise are always important, especially if you have an injury or a physical limitation. One of the best ways to exercise is in the pool. The water can help ease arthritis and joint pain, and help to increase mobility. However, getting into pool is sometimes a different matter entirely. Fortunately the pool lift chair solves this problem. Much the like the bedside lift, this lift is specially designed to help get you into and out of the pool. Making it safe and easy for you to get some exercise and feel better.
Having a mobility impairment isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible. With the right support and equipment, there’s no reason one can’t get around and enjoy life to the fullest. If you find that you’re starting to have issue getting into or out of your chair, or the stairs are looking particularly daunting, you’re not alone. Give yourself and hand and get yourself a lift.
