thanks for the responses, insurance will only cover a very basic hoyer lift,on wheels ( i assume it is the same as the electric other than the lift part) how hard is it to move it from room to room? does the hospital bed lower enough to transfer into a power chair and back to the bed? is the easy stand any particular model number? thanks!
Hi
My son was 16 when we got the easy stand. He got the evolve unit. It is adult size. I know they have smaller ones. Luckily there are only 2-3 choices. Get the chest belt rather than the seat belt. We got padded supports for under the arms too. Your PT should be able to help you refine what your son needs.
Our insurance contributed the amount of the basic hoyer to the electric one. We paid the difference. Ours has large wheels and it is pretty easy to get around on flat surfaces like laminate or wood floors. Rugs much tougher.
When you ask about transferring from bed to chair you don't need to lower it if you are using a lift. If he is doing a pivot transfer you can crank the bed to the height you need and leave it there. Am I answering your question?
