With the goal of safety and keeping people in their homes longer, a ceiling lift offers many benefits for a safer, more efficient, and more respectful care environment for both patients and caregivers. Below highlights several key benefits for using a ceiling lift for safe transfers:

• Reducing Risk of Injury – with the proper use of a ceiling lift, both patients and caregivers may minimize the risk of being injured while caring by reducing the need for manual lifting. Ceiling lifts can assist in the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries among healthcare workers and caregivers.
• Improving Patient Mobility – a ceiling lift may promote the safe and efficient transfer of patients, supporting those with physical disabilities or reduced strength.
• Enhancing Safety – supporting those patients that are prone to falls or other mobility injuries, ceiling lifts can be mounted to secure track systems or portable gantry systems for safe and effective patient handling.
• Caregiving Health Benefits – with the goal of promoting a safe work environment, ceiling lifts reduce the need for manual patient lifting, which allows the use of optimal work conditions, the promotion of ergonomic movements, and the reduction of physical strain on the body.
• Complying with Safety Standards – the use of a ceiling lift aligns with safety standards promoted by the American Nurses Association for safe patient handling and movement.
