So easy to use
Thank goodness for this transfer aid. My mother has MS and it is very hard to get her out of bed. She has very limited mobility. We'd have to do a max assist pivot transfer and pick her up with two people. We kept hurting our backs or pulling our muscles. However, since my mother can support her own weight for a minute, we were able to use this transfer aid to have her stand and pivot from her bed to a commode or a wheelchair without hurting our backs. It's light enough to put in the back of our mini van too. It gave my mother her life back without injuring us as her caregivers. I highly recommend it if your family member can stand for a short time while you transfer him or her. If they can not stand, you would need something else. It only took about five minutes to put together as well despite very limited instructions, and I am not that great at assembling things. You will get a lot of use out of this, but check for cheaper pricing from costco.com or other sites as well. That is the only reason I gave it a four instead of five. Otherwise, the product itself is really great.
