Durable Medical Equipment (DME) - Transfer Assist Devices

Those who are experiencing health care at home know it’s nice to have help there when you need it.  But what about assistance when no one is there to help? What then?  That’s why durable medical equipment (DME) transfer assist devices were developed, to give assistance to you and others when help is needed.
Transfer assistance devices work in two ways.  First, they offer stability for patience where they once felt vulnerable.  Oddly enough this vulnerable place is often the bedroom; in fact, the bed itself!  For many home health care patients, getting in and out of bed can be not only a chore, but has an increased propensity for accident. 
The CDC recognizes moving from the bed to a chair is one of the leading causes of falls amongst elderly home health care patients.  The transfer assist device was designed to create a railing of support for both a caregiver and a patient to utilize to increase safety and stability during the transition of upright to sleep and vice versa. 
There are a variety of options available on our website.  You can call us today at 800.457.0477 or visit us on the web by clicking on the link below. For the best DME equipment available think HRS Direct!
