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

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.

This is a very helpful, highly useful device. High quality. If there was something that could be improved it would be making it easier for the back seat to be disengaged. Pulling on the rings isn't super easy sometimes. Possibly also coming with a belt of some kind to add a little extra support. But I'm happy with it

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!

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. Overseas To 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.....❤️

The seats wear out and noone can replace the seats they cost half of what the lift costs....

My husband has Multiple System Atrophy, a rapidly progressing neurological disease. Like Parkinson's, he freezes, and has become unable to turn, making transfers unsafe. After four falls in two weeks, I ordered this. The company I ordered from shipped immediately and it arrived long before Amazon said it would. My daughter and I assembled it immediately, and tried it out as well as demonstrated it to my husband. I expected to actually try it in the morning, however he ended up throwing up in bed that very night. Since he is weakest (and least able to think) at night, I was faced with a nightmare. So with no chance to practice, this became my only tool to help him. First of all, in order to use this, you do need sufficient leg/arm strength to move to a standing position so that the seat can be flipped behind you. This first time, he was terrified and held onto the bar even after the seat was in place. When I finally got the bed made, he couldn't let go of the bar. There are stops at the end of the bar for the seat which because of the way he grasped the bar caused a huge bruise And scrape on his arm. I checked, and there were no rough spots, just a terrified husband with thin skin. On the lift chair, we have to move it into the up position to allow the legs to bring him into position close enough to sit. The first time we tried, I forgot to lock the wheels. When he sat in the chair, the assist device slid away and he slid down the upraised seat and landed on the floor. Oops, ALWAYS lock the wheels! Over time, he has learned to trust this, and we now transfer smoothly, bed, lift chair, bedside commode, standard wheelchair. However, this does NOT work safely with his electric wheelchair. We are still trying different options to move him into it. Another huge issue is that with carpet, once I add his weight, this is harder to move than I would like. Would I buy it again? Absolutely! It has made the impossible possible, at least for awhile longer. Probably the most important feature has been the ability to assist him more when using the commode. He can pull himself up slightly so that I can tug things down. Once trousers are removed, we move the seat and he can sit safely. He keeps this in front of him to pull himself up for assistance when he is done. It also gives me time to check on and treat pressure sores. It is perfect for getting in and out of the hospital bed and allows me to get him into position in a single try. It is harder getting into and out of the lift chair. We use the "inch" method, inching it into position as he puts the lift chair up, or outwards when sitting.

This transport equipment is the key reason we can keep our 92 year old Mom at home where she is happy and safe instead of in a care facility. It is easy to use, I've taught many helpers in the last two weeks, no special training needed. She feels very safe because she cannot fall and it also helps her build her strength as she uses it. We use it multiple times each day and it functions exactly as advertised. We bought it disassembled and my brother put it together in less than an hour. If you have an injured person or elderly relative who is at risk for falling or with limited mobility, the lumex stand assist can help you move them from bed to wheelchair to their favorite recliner without injuring yourself. Our only cautionary comments, it can be used with wall to wall carpeting although it takes a little more strength to push and the small back wheels make it difficult to turn on carpeting. Plus, getting over thresholds between rooms, even if they are very small, you must lift the front wheels.

This device makes all the difference in our ability to care for our semi-paralyzed family member at home. We are able to safely transport her from room to room and area to area without fear of injury to our loved one or ourselves. Before we got this device we didn't know if it was going to be possible to care for our loved one at home and now we can. Assembly was easy, the device is sturdy and very easy to maneuver about the house. I highly recommend this product!
