We purchased this this for my mother-in-law to help lift my father-in-law who broke his foot. This has been a game changer for both!! They both want to stay together, in their home and this is the best piece of equipment. It is also keeping my mother-in-law's back protected by not having to lift him physically. The lift does it all. Your Hoyer lift came highly recommended by several different physical therapists, a home health nurse and a hospice coordinator.â
