LiftSeat introduces a new way to assist residents in long-term care facilities with
the frequent task of toileting the LiftSeat™ 300 Professional toilet
lift.
Supporting residents with this repetitive, biomechanically challenging activity
of daily living (ADL) requires frequent assistance from already busy caregivers
and places both caregiver and resident at-risk for injury. When installed in a resident's
room, or a common shower room, assisted living room or adult day care bathroom,
LiftSeat™ virtually eliminates the risk of injury related to this personal task
while restoring independence and dignity.
For ambulatory residents who require only minimal toileting assistance, LiftSeat
makes it possible for them to qualify as "modified independent" for the ADS. For
residents who need moderate to maximum assistance, LiftSeat enables a single caregiver
to assist safely and efficiently while reducing the risk of injury to all.

For Caregivers
Safe, Effective Resident Assistance
According to the American Nurses Association, back injuries affect up to 38 percent
of nurses with the repeated lifting, transferring and repositioning of residents
the most common tasks that lead to injury. LiftSeat virtually eliminates the risk
of toilet-related assistance injuries by delivering the support required during
the sit-to-stand (STS) motion path. This support delivers safe resident assistance
with fewer injuries, fewer lost or reduced work days and increased job satisfaction.
For Residents
Independence, Dignity and Safety
More than 15 million Americans suffer from conditions that compromise their strength
and the ability to get on and off the toilet. Many of these are ambulatory and semi-ambulatory
residents in long-term care facilities who would be able to go to the bathroom safely
on their own if a LiftSeat was installed in their room. LiftSeat's easy-to-use controls
operate with the touch of a thumb to smoothly, comfortably and confidently support
residents through a natural and familiar sit-to-stand (STS) motion path.
For Facilities
Revenue, Retention, Reimbursement
LiftSeat significantly reduces the risk of lift-related injuries to caregivers and
residents by supporting one of the most common activities of daily living (ADLs)
toileting. The staff time gained through LiftSeat's superior support of this
time-consuming task can be spent more effectively on more productive activities.
The reduction of lost hours and days, and reduced Workers' Compensation claims (even
premiums) will generate a measurable return on your LiftSeat investment which
can be made with capital or expense dollars. LiftSeat helps long-term care facilities
create a safe environment for caregivers and residents, helps residents remain independent,
and supports incontinence policies as well as compliance with safe patient handling
legislation and no-lift regulations and policies.
