Frequently Asked Questions

A patient lift is a device used to assist caregivers in safely lifting and transferring individuals with limited mobility from one place to another, such as from a bed to a wheelchair.

Many patient lifts are designed to be operated by a single caregiver, but having additional assistance can improve safety and ease of use, especially with larger or less mobile patients.

101 Mobility offers a range of patient lifts, including ceiling lifts, wall-mounted lifts, and portable lifts. Our team can help assess your needs and recommend the most suitable lift, based on the level of assistance required and the available space.
