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
