LiftSeat® is an important component of a comprehensive after-care program for patients once they are discharged from a hospital or sub-acute facility. By supporting the sit-to-stand motion path required for toileting, LiftSeat® makes it possible to toilet bedside or in the bathroom without lifting assistance from a family member or other caregiver. This increased safety and independence makes LiftSeat® a viable permanent toileting solution for the home bathroom.
