Ceiling lift improving patient transfer safety at home

At Rehab Medical Mobility Equipment, we understand that maintaining independence and safety at home is a top priority for families in Toronto, Vaughan, and the GTA. One of the most significant challenges in home health care is the physical strain of transferring a loved one from a bed to a chair, or into a bathroom. Manual lifting is not only exhausting but also carries a high risk of injury for both the patient and the person providing care.

We have over 120 years of combined experience in the medical equipment industry, and we have seen firsthand how the right technology can transform a home environment.

Enhancing patient dignity and comfort

When we talk about patient safety, we are also talking about dignity. Being manually lifted can feel unstable or even frightening for a patient. Traditional floor lifts, while helpful, can be bulky and require significant floor space, often leading to a bumpy ride over carpet or door thresholds.

By utilizing ceiling lifts, we provide a smooth, linear motion that feels much more secure. For example, our Savaria HC model is designed for powerful, fast lifting that does not sacrifice comfort. By using a track system mounted to the ceiling, we eliminate the jarring movements associated with manual transfers. This allows the patient to feel supported and relaxed throughout the process.

Reducing caregiver strain and career longevity

Caregiver injury prevention is a core pillar of what we do at Rehab Medical Mobility Equipment. Back injuries are incredibly common among those providing home care because the human body is not designed to lift heavy weight in awkward positions.

By installing ceiling lifts like the Maxi Sky 2 from Arjo, we enable a single caregiver to perform transfers that would otherwise require two or three people. This technology takes the physical burden off your shoulders and back, transferring the weight to the high-strength aluminum tracks above.

Versatility with portable lift options

Not every home requires a permanent, fixed track in every room. We often recommend the Savaria PL for clients who need flexibility. This unit is designed from the ground up to be truly portable, meaning it can be easily carried from room to room.

The heart of this system is a lithium-ion battery which provides significant lifting power with much less product weight than our competitors. At only 11 pounds, it is easy for a caregiver to hook and unhook the unit as needed. Many portable ceiling lifts ensure that safety follows the patient wherever they go in the house, without the need for a massive renovation in every room.

Handling Complex Bariatric Needs

Maintaining the dignity and safety of bariatric patients presents an especially complex challenge. We carry the Savaria HC series, which features an industry first: a 1,200 pound capacity in a single unit. This is a game changer for bariatric care in the GTA.

These lithium-ion powered ceiling lifts ensure that even at the heaviest capacities, the lift operates smoothly and quickly. We believe that every patient deserves to feel safe, regardless of their size, and our heavy duty lifting solutions provide that peace of mind. Our team has the required knowledge in sales and installation to ensure these high-capacity systems are mounted with absolute precision and safety.

The Advantage of Lithium-Ion Technology

In our years of service, we have noticed a massive shift in performance thanks to lithium-ion technology. We offer the M-Series Clinical by Savaria / Handicare, which utilizes this tech to provide huge performance advantages across the board.

Modern ceiling lifts with lithium-ion batteries provide more lifting cycles on a single charge and faster charging times. This means the lift is always ready when you need it. There is nothing more frustrating than needing to move a patient only to find the equipment battery is dead. With our modern M-Series units, that worry is significantly reduced.

Integrated Solutions with Specialized Scales

Efficiency is another major benefit of these systems. For patients who require regular weight monitoring, we provide specialized scales from Arjo. These suspended scales attach directly to the lift, allowing for seamless and accurate patient weighing during a standard transfer.

This eliminates the need for additional weighing equipment or multiple transfers just to get a weight reading. By reducing the number of transfers, we further reduce the risk of injury and save valuable time for the caregiver. These scales are compatible with various ceiling lifts, are lightweight, and can be easily detached when not in use.

Space Saving Design for Modern Homes

One of the biggest complaints we hear about floor lifts is that they take up too much room. In many Toronto homes, space is at a premium. Ceiling lifts solve this by keeping the floor clear. When the lift is not in use, the motor can be parked at the end of the rail, leaving the room looking tidy and unobstructed.

Our Maxi Sky 440 is a perfect example of a simple, portable solution that meets various care setting needs without cluttering the living space. Whether you are looking to buy or rent medical mobility equipment, we can help you find a configuration that fits your specific floor plan.

Professional installation and reliable service

Choosing the right lift is only half the battle. Professional installation is vital for the safety of the user. At Rehab Medical Mobility Equipment, our owner Sam Hanna ensures that every installation meets the highest standards of quality. We are an analytical and motivated team that follows through to achieve your project goals.

We provide prompt and reliable service across Toronto and the GTA. Our after-sales service is just as important to us as the initial sale of ceiling lifts. We want to ensure you are 100% satisfied with how your lift functions in your daily life.
