Frequently Asked Questions About Patient Lifts
What is a patient lift?
A patient lift (also called Hoyer lift) is a mechanical device that safely transfers patients who cannot support their own weight. It lifts and moves people between bed, wheelchair, toilet, or bath, reducing injury risk for both patient and caregiver.
Does ADP cover patient lifts?
Yes, patient lifts are covered under ADP for eligible Ontario residents. Both portable floor lifts and ceiling track systems qualify for funding up to 75%. We help with assessments and all ADP paperwork.
Do you rent patient lifts?
Yes, we rent patient lifts including slings and offer delivery throughout Toronto and the GTA. Rentals are ideal for post-surgery recovery, respite care, or temporary mobility needs.
What is the difference between a floor lift and ceiling lift?
Floor lifts (Hoyer lifts) are portable and can move between rooms. Ceiling lifts are permanently installed on a track system, offering smoother transfers with less physical effort. Ceiling lifts are ideal for frequent transfers and can cover bathroom to bedroom.
What sling do I need for a patient lift?
Sling selection depends on the transfer type and patient needs. Universal slings work for most transfers. Toileting slings allow bathroom use. Bathing slings are mesh for water drainage. We assess your needs and recommend the right sling style and size.
How much weight can a patient lift hold?
Standard patient lifts have a capacity of 400-450 lbs. Bariatric lifts are available with capacities up to 700-1000 lbs. Always choose a lift rated above the patients weight for safety. We help you select the appropriate capacity.
Can one person operate a patient lift safely?
Yes, modern patient lifts are designed for single-caregiver operation. Electric lifts do the heavy lifting with a button press. However, some facilities require two-person lifts for safety protocols. Proper training is essential for safe operation.
Do you install ceiling track lifts?
Yes, we install ceiling track lift systems in homes throughout Toronto and the GTA. Installation includes the track, motor, sling, and training. We can install straight tracks, curved tracks, and multi-room systems depending on your home layout.
Where can I buy a Hoyer lift in Toronto?
Mobility Specialties sells Hoyer lifts and patient lifts throughout Toronto and the GTA. We carry floor lifts, sit-to-stand lifts, and ceiling track systems. All purchases include delivery, setup, sling fitting, and training. ADP funding covers up to 75% for eligible Ontario residents.
How much does a patient lift cost in Canada?
Patient lift prices in Canada range from $1,500-$5,000 for floor lifts. Basic manual Hoyer lifts start at $1,500. Electric floor lifts cost $2,500-$4,000. Ceiling track systems cost $5,000-$15,000 installed. ADP covers 75% for eligible Ontario residents. Rentals available from $150/month.
What is the difference between a Hoyer lift and ceiling lift?
A Hoyer lift (floor lift) is portable and moves on wheels - good for occasional transfers and multiple rooms. A ceiling lift is permanently installed on a track system - smoother transfers with less caregiver effort, ideal for frequent daily transfers. Ceiling lifts can connect bathroom to bedroom.
Is there an income limit for ADP?
No, ADP has no income testing. All Ontario residents with a valid health card and qualifying disability are eligible regardless of income. The program covers 75% of the cost for all qualifying applicants.
How often can I get new equipment through ADP?
ADP has usage periods for each equipment type. For example, wheelchairs have a 5-year usage period, walkers 5 years, and hospital beds vary. After the usage period, you may qualify for replacement if there is continued medical need.
Can I upgrade my ADP equipment?
Yes, you can choose features beyond what ADP covers and pay the difference. For example, ADP may cover a basic power wheelchair, but you can upgrade to a model with more features. You pay 25% of the approved amount plus any upgrade costs.
What documents do I need for ADP application?
You need: 1) Ontario Health Card, 2) Prescription from your physician stating medical need, 3) Assessment from an authorized ADP vendor like Mobility Specialties. We guide you through gathering all required documentation.
