Dignity
None of us can probably fully imagine what it must feel like to be dependent on another person for our care, especially when it comes to the more personal elements of that care. To be moved efficiently with the patient experiencing as little discomfort as possible increases the options for more dignified personal care. For example, an Electric Hoist may allow someone to access a toilet rather than wear pads to open their bowels. The result being the dependent persons privacy and dignity is better managed and has more options to care.
Flexibility
Although institutions such as care homes and hospitals may consider fixed hoists such a ceiling track initially preferable, it is testament to the flexibility of the mobile hoist that many institutions use them. The reason for this flexibility is the lack of need to be fixed to a ceiling or wall and can therefore be transported between rooms. One mobile hoist can service a whole floor, or hospital ward, or an individual’s home at the fraction of the setup, maintenance and running costs of fitting each room with a ceiling track hoist.
