Lumex LF1600 Stand Assist, Sit to Stand Patient Lift for Elderly Seniors, Chair Transfer & Standing Support Aid

I have MS. I just had a stroke which was a surprise to me. I thought it was an attack. I Spent nearly 40 days in 2 hospitals and then a rehab clinic. Everyone was determined to get me walking and strengthen the muscles in my legs and arms. For two and a half years I used to crawl on the floor in order to take a shower get from room to room and would need my husband and son to help boost me up to get me into an office chair with wheels so I could move on the kitchen floor. I needed help when I came home just to get up the stairs and we thought I would need a stair lift. I had used a surfboard or wooden board to transfer from a wheelchair to the bed or the commode but I would need something else because I was not comfortable using the surfboard and gait belt. My husband tried to get a Sara-Stedy Because that would make it easier for me to do the transfers. He checked everywhere, but our only option was to spend between three and 4 thousand dollars to get a new one. This was not an option for us because of the cost factor. My husband searched everywhere and finally located this. It even works on our carpeting and it is just like the Sara-Stedy they had at The rehabilitation clinic. It is great! We keep it in the living room and it makes transferring from the wheelchair to the commode easy as pie. I am able to help myself get up by hanging on to the bar with just a little boost from my husband or son. The paddles make it easy to rest and the knee pads keep my knees from giving out. I also am Rolled down the hall and put on my bed. I find this so much easier than struggling with the surfboard. I love my stand assist and the price was just right!

This works amazing! Very easy to assemble and extremely smooth rolling. I bought this for a family member who has Parkinson’s and very limited mobility. If a person can stand mostly unassisted this is a game changer! Very secure, fits around a standard toilet and under most chairs and beds for ease of transferring to and from. Highly recommend for anyone with mobility issues.

We got this last year. I have no words to describe how grateful I felt when using this lumex stand assist patient transport unit lift to help my most beloved father.My father spent a whole year laying in a bed in the ICU. When we finally got to take him home he had lost all of his body strength and walking capacity. He was 96 years young, weighed more less 160 lbs and measured 5'8 ft.Leaving the ICU It was essencial for his recovery for him to remain straight up seated and/or in a vertical position along most time of the day.There was no other way to get him up from the bed without the lumex stand assist lift. He was way to heavy for us as he had no control over his legs or body to help himself.While using the Lumex stand assist lift he felt secure and comfortable at all times.I read on a previous review that the wheels might break easily after a couple months of use.It did not happened to us. It is still in mint condition. Though we did took good care of the Lumex stand lift.It was easy to maneuver my dad all around his apartment as the floors are terrazzo. The Lumex stand lift was easy to maneuver over the tiles in the bathroom and the wood in his bedroom.We gave him life quality, he felt alive he was able to see through the windows of his bedroom, leave the bedroom go to the balcony and family room, etc.Once in a while the Lumex stand lift did got wet but thanks God it never broke or rust(pat dry with a towel). . We even used it inside the elevator to take dad to the garage when needed to take him to the doctor.Check the dimentions though as It wont enter through some doors especially if the buttock coushions are flip outwards, if they are closed it will give up a couple inches. All Furniture must have a clearance of at least 6 inches from the floor(with wide open legs) for the Lumex lift to fit under so the patient can reach.My mom is very petit and not very strong woman and she managed to pick up my dad from bed and transport him to the dinning room for breack fast. He was so confident while seating on the Lumex stand lift that he got motivated to walk again on his own after a couple months of family love and physical therapy.Once more I am very greatful to the Lumex stand patient transport unit lift, to Amazon for delivering it overseas, for my spouse who In a very selfless act bought it and sent it to my parents place in such a critical moment my family was enduring with my fathers health.Amazon will deliver the Lumex stand patient transport unit lift outside the USA. OverseasTo ensemble you will need two agile, strong adults and a mallet. Once ensemble it wont un ensemble.It was really helpful and We really appreciate the assistance it gave us during a very dificult time. It gave hope to my father and I am very thankful for that. I would totaly buy it again with out a doubt... Totally recomended.....❤️

Very useful and helpful when caring for a very ill person. It is the less expensive model of the ones used in the hospitals. If you have a loved one you are caring for at home, this is an invaluable aid. It was extremely useful. It took a little research to find one that fit my price range. This model was it and it did not disappoint. I do not regret the purchase.

My elderly mother has suffered a series of strokes. She is paralyzed on one side, but can still use that leg to support her weight. After a mini stroke this past spring, she needed 2 people to safely transfer her from the wheelchair to commode, to chair, etc. She has a full time CNA, but the family works and is unavailable for transfers during the day. We were starting to look for a residential placement when I tripped over this stand assist on Amazon. It works better and is less expensive than a hoyer, which we also tried, and also makes her engage her muscles to keep her from getting even weaker. With a little training and practice one person can transfer her safely on their own. The seats keep her safe and because they flip independent of the other, she can rest on one while we clean and dress her with the other up. The wheels roll nicely over wall-to-wall carpet and she is a large woman. It was easy to assemble and allowed us to keep her safely at home a little longer. We also use a gate belt, so one person can stand in front of the machine and help haul her up and forward safely, before flipping the seats into place. Between this machine for transfers, and the Tranquility and Abena diapers and liners, Mom is still home and can go through the night without a diaper change or overnight care.
