Fall Recovery Essentials Every Individual Using a Mobility Device Should Have

For an individual living with Mobility Challenges, the chances of falling increase significantly. It’s no longer an IF but WHEN, no matter how careful you or your loved ones are. Did you know that after a fall it’s what happens after that can make a big difference between recovering safely or causing further injury when trying to get up.  

As we age, we become less stable on our feet, not as mobile as we used to be and for individuals using Medical Devices like Walkers, Rollators, Canes, Powered Mobility Scooters, Transport Chairs and Wheelchairs it’s crucial to understand the importance of staying safe while remaining mobile. As we think about the ways, we can stay safe in our homes most people often overlook a crucial piece of equipment in their home safety plan: a Fall Recovery Lift.

Devices like Fall Recovery Lifts provide the extra bit of assurance needed and not just for the person who might fall, but for the caregiver helping assist the fallen person back to their feet. One simple, yet effective tool can save you from calling an Ambulance, risking further injury, hurting the individual helping you recover from the fall as well as eliminating the fear and helplessness that often comes after a fall.

At Mobile Patient Lift, we always talk about how our focus is to develop products which Lift Lives while Restoring Independence and that’s why if you live alone, care for a loved one, or manage safety in a senior living facility, our portable, easy-to-use Fall Recovery Solutions make life safer providing peace of mind should a fall occur.

Why Every Individual with a Mobility Device Needs a Fall Recovery Solution

If you live with, use or care for someone using any of these devices

• Walking Cane or Crutches
• Walker with or Without Wheels
• Rollator or Rolling Walker
• Manual or Electric Wheelchair
• Powered Scooter

… then managing a level of mobility risk should remain a priority. Together mobility equipment as well as other safety devices like grab bars, ramps, and non-slip mats can provide some level of protection they often fail to provide help when someone falls and ends up on the floor.

You or A Loved One Has Fallen - So Now What?
A fall recovery lift’s only purpose is to safely bring a person back to a seated or standing position preventing the need to call 911, causing further injury to yourself of the caregiver. Preventing Muscle Strains and Tears, Joint Dislocation, Fractures, Head Injuries, Skin Tears and Bruising as well as Aggravating or Re-Aggravating Pre Existing Issues which can be avoided by using Fall Recovery Lift.

So Let’s Review Our 3 Fall Recovery Devices

At Mobile Patient Lift we manufacture unique fall solutions, each designed for different needs and lifestyles:

HelpUp Inflatable Floor Assist Lift

An effective lift designed for Simplicity, Portability and those on a Budget

Featuring Airlift Technology, the HelpUp Inflatable lift has evolved. While Inflatable Fall Recovery Solutions have been on the market for years they have yet to evolve until today. Introducing the HelpUp Fall Recovery Lift with Airlift Technology. Providing users with a portable, lightweight, compact solution perfect for adults aging in place or caregivers looking for an easy, reliable solution. Designed with a 3-bladder system which inflates in stages to gently cradle around a person lifting them from the floor to seated semi-standing position operated all by one caregiver.

Why People Love It:

• Inflates in minutes using Airlift Technology
• Allows user to lay flat instead of seated when recovering
• Can safely lift up to a 400 lbs. person
• No Batteries that require charging or complex setup
• Cradled Design with built-in handles
• When not in use, folds up into a duffel bag for easy storage or travel

“When my husband’s Dementia progressed falling became something I was not prepared for. It was a challenge for me to help him get back up. Getting the Help Up has simply provided the help I need and changed how I care for him and myself.”  Ethel, Loving Wife and Caregiver

 

Bridge Bathtub & Fall Recovery Lift

Multi-Use Fall Recovery Solution and Bathtub Lift

For those who may not fall often having one piece of equipment that can provide two functions provides great value while offering two solutions. The two-function lift is designed to work for those requiring help with fall recovery and bathtub independence, making the Bridge Fall and Tub Lift a smart solution. A seated lift featuring a remote control which assists individuals when getting in or out of a Bathtub as well as helping users recovering from a fall to be lifted safely to a seated position.

Key Features:

• Seated Design lifting users from 3” to 20”
• Can safely lift up to a 300 lbs. person
• Transfer flaps for tub entry/exit or to transfer from the lift to a chair
• Six anti-slip / anti-fall suction feet ensure stability
• Remote-controlled for safe, independent operation
• Dual Function – Bathlift and Fall Lift

“As my dad’s mobility began to decline, everyday things like getting in and out of the bath became difficult. Although he had not fallen, it was clear he was less mobile, and my brothers and I were concerned about his safety. After getting the Bridge Bathlift it restored his independence in the bathroom giving our family peace, knowing he can both bathe comfortably and if he ever does fall in the home we are covered.”– Rebecca D., Daughter & Caregiver

 

Bounce Back Fall Recovery Lift

High Lifting Capacity Fall Recovery Solution

Featuring the highest weight capacity of our three fall recovering solutions at 500 lbs. the Bounce Back was designed to help you do just that. With a gently sloped seat, back support, flip-up armrests, strong lifting motor and remote control to provide smooth and comfortable recovery no matter how much or often they fall. The Bounce Back is ideal for seniors, those with partial mobility or those recovering from surgery offering maximum safety for both users and caregivers.

Why It Stands Out:

• Seated Design lifting users from 1.2” up to 28.7”
• Can safely lift up to a 500 lbs. person
• Magnetic remote lets caregivers or users control the lift with one hand
• Edge Curved Seat and Flip-Back Armrest for Easy on or Off
• Back support with Safety Belt
• Designed for stability and comfort, even during solo lifts

“My mom loves living at home with us. When she moved in, we did everything we could to safeguard our home but her falling was something we were not prepared for and it started to become a daily occurrence. I’m just a little over 5 feet tall and my mom weighing 323 lbs. was more than I could lift. One time, I hurt my back simply trying to get her up. When we got the BounceBack it didn’t just help lift my mom it helped us quickly get back to the things we loved doing safely.” - Leah P., adult daughter
