Floor Lift For Elderly

The floor lifts in this range are mobile floor lifts and standing transfer aids from the patient lift range: Bestcare full-body lifts, the BestMove standing transfer aids, the Handicare ReTurn and QuickMove sit-to-stand aids, and a low-profile car transfer and mobile floor lift.

A full-body floor lift uses a sling to lift the person completely — the format for someone who cannot bear weight. A sit-to-stand aid such as the ReTurn or BestMove supports a person who can hold some weight through their legs to stand and pivot, which is the more active transfer.

The Bestcare BestLift range anchors the full-body side, in compact and standard formats, and the Bestcare PL350CT is a low-profile mobile floor lift that also handles car transfers.

Check the lift's base style and the space it has to open in, the person's weight against the stated capacity, and whether the person can bear weight — that decides between a full-body lift and a sit-to-stand aid. Each listing states its model's format and capacity.

Families and home caregivers lifting an elderly person at home, and care facilities equipping rooms for residents who cannot transfer unaided.
