What if your aged care residents could have the benefits of a hoist without having to know its there?

It's been the point of discussion around many a aged care board room table: we need patient lifting equipment, but we don't want to see the rails on the ceiling and have the hoist always sitting in view.  

The answer could well be in a not-so-new cabinet based lifter called the Integralift, designed by Norwegian engineer Skjalg AAbakken, and now selling in Australian through Ceiling Hoist Solutions.  What problem does this solve?  It looks like cabinetry, it feels and works like cabinetry - but just open the door and suddenly there is a patient lifting motor with sling, spreader bar and sling, ready to lift a patient or resident from the bed to a wheelchair, tub chair or even commode.  Imagine how better your residents or patients will feel when the only time they see a hoist is when they need it!  


And for staff, well, no sore backs, shoulders and general fatigue.  Surely that is worth a lot more than just something!  There's Integralifts being installed into aged care and residential homes all across Australia - why don't you take a look as well.
