When considering options for home lifts, many people wonder, “How much does a home lift cost”, and “Is a Hoyer lift worth the investment?” In this detailed breakdown, we will explore the costs, examine alternatives to the Hoyer brand, and highlight the best options available on the Shop Home Med website.
One of the biggest misconceptions is that a patent lift is called a Hoyer. Much like a Band-Aid, which is a type of adhesive bandage, people widely use the brand name "Band-Aid" to refer to any bandage regardless of the manufacturer. The same applies to Hoyer. Hoyer is a manufacturer of a lift just like, Drive, ProHeal, or Proactive. The proper name for a Hoyer is a patient lift (patient hoist, jack hoist, or hydraulic lift), which may be either a sling lift or a sit-to-stand lift.
They’re Too Expensive: While some models are pricey, many affordable options are available.
They’re Hard to Use: Most modern lifts are designed for user-friendly operation.
They’re Only for Hospitals: Many lifts are specifically designed for home use.
A Hoyer lift is a type of patient lift, specifically designed to assist caregivers in transferring individuals with mobility challenges. It’s one of the most recognized brands in the medical equipment industry, but is it the best option for you?
Not quite. While the term “Hoyer lift” is often used generically, it’s important to note that Hoyer is just one brand of many. Numerous other brands offer comparable quality at a better price point.
