Let's discuss how we can support Support Coordinator/Caregiver Support
Solutions for You
Ceiling Lift Systems for Safe Transfers
Eliminate the dangerous, back-breaking work of manual transfers with professionally installed ceiling lift systems. We design Savaria, Guldmann, Molift, and Handicare ceiling track systems that allow you to safely move your loved one from bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to bathroom, or throughout living spaces without lifting their full weight. These systems dramatically reduce injury risk for both caregiver and care recipient while preserving dignity during transfers. Our certified installers create custom track configurations that work within your home’s layout, and we provide thorough training so you feel confident operating the system independently.
Transfer Aids & Positioning Equipment
For caregivers who don’t need full ceiling lifts, we provide portable lifts, transfer boards, pivot discs, gait belts, and positioning aids that make transfers easier and safer. These tools help you assist with movement while protecting your back and reducing the physical strength required. We demonstrate proper techniques and ensure you have the right equipment for your specific caregiving situations.
Accessible Bathing Solutions
Helping someone bathe safely is one of caregiving’s most physically demanding and dignity-sensitive tasks. We transform bathrooms with walk-in tub conversions, roll-in showers with built-in seating, hand-held shower systems, and grab bars that support both the bather and the caregiver. Our Clean Cut tub conversions eliminate the dangerous step-over while you’re assisting someone into the bath. Roll-in showers provide wheelchair access and enough space for caregiver assistance when needed, making bathing safer and less stressful for everyone involved.
Toileting Assistance Equipment
We provide raised toilet seats, toilet safety frames, bedside commodes, and positioning aids that reduce the physical demands of toileting assistance while supporting your loved one’s independence and privacy. Proper equipment makes this essential care task manageable without excessive bending, lifting, or strain on your body.
Adjustable Beds for Easier Care
Flex-A-Bed adjustable beds transform caregiving by bringing your loved one to comfortable positions for care rather than forcing you to bend, reach, and strain. Adjustable height features raise the bed to comfortable working levels for dressing, wound care, or personal hygiene. Head and foot adjustments help with feeding, respiratory support, and comfort positioning. These beds reduce caregiver back strain while improving circulation, breathing, and comfort for the person receiving care. Many also include features like massage functions and under-bed lighting for nighttime care.
Bed Rails & Positioning Aids
Proper positioning equipment prevents pressure sores, supports comfort, and makes repositioning easier for caregivers. We provide bed rails that assist with turning and repositioning, positioning wedges and pillows, pressure-relieving mattresses, and bed mobility aids that help your loved one participate in position changes when possible—reducing the physical work you must do alone.
Wheelchair Ramps & Level Access
Navigating stairs or thresholds while assisting someone or pushing a wheelchair adds significant physical strain and safety risk. Our professionally installed EZ-ACCESS ramps eliminate these barriers, making it easier to take your loved one outside for fresh air, to medical appointments, or for family outings. Removing navigation barriers means you can focus on companionship rather than wrestling with obstacles.
Wider Doorways & Accessible Spaces
Maneuvering wheelchairs or walkers through narrow doorways and tight spaces adds frustration and difficulty to daily caregiving. We can widen doorways, reconfigure bathroom layouts, and create accessible spaces that make assisting with mobility easier and less stressful. When you can navigate freely with mobility equipment, every caregiving task becomes more manageable.
Power Lift Chairs for Independence
Helping someone stand from a seated position repeatedly throughout the day takes a toll on caregiver backs and shoulders. Power lift chairs gently elevate and tilt forward, assisting the person to a standing position with minimal caregiver effort. This promotes independence while protecting your body from the cumulative strain of repeated lifting and supporting during transfers. We provide lift chairs with various weight capacities, sizes, and positioning options to match your loved one’s needs.
Comprehensive Supplies with Discreet Delivery
Managing incontinence adds significant work to caregiving routines. We provide complete supplies including briefs, underwear, underpads, wipes, gloves, and protective equipment delivered discreetly to your door. Having proper supplies readily available reduces stress, protects skin health, and makes this aspect of care more manageable. We help you select appropriate absorbency levels and sizes, and establish convenient delivery schedules so you never run out of essential supplies.

FAQs Support Coordinator/Caregiver Support
How do I know when I need caregiver support equipment?
If you’re experiencing back pain after transfers, feeling exhausted from lifting, struggling with daily care tasks, or worrying about dropping your loved one, you need support equipment now. Don’t wait for injury—caregivers have injury rates comparable to construction workers. Equipment like ceiling lifts and adjustable beds protect your health while improving care quality.
Will using equipment make me a "bad" caregiver?
Absolutely not. Using proper equipment makes you a smart caregiver who will be able to continue caring long-term. Manual lifting injures both you and your loved one. Equipment reduces injury risk, decreases pain during transfers, and allows you to provide better care without exhaustion. Your loved one needs you healthy and capable, not injured.
Does insurance cover equipment that helps caregivers?
Yes—many caregiver support solutions are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance when they’re medically necessary for the care recipient. Ceiling lifts, adjustable beds, and bathroom modifications are often covered when prescribed by a physician. We handle all authorization and billing to maximize your benefits.
What's the most important piece of equipment for family caregivers?
It depends on your most physically demanding task. For caregivers doing frequent transfers, ceiling lifts provide the biggest relief. For those helping with bed positioning and personal care, adjustable beds reduce strain significantly. During your consultation, we identify which tasks cause you the most physical stress and prioritize solutions accordingly.
Can I get help even if my loved one's condition might improve?
Yes. Even temporary caregiving situations benefit from proper equipment. We offer rental options for short-term needs and can recommend solutions that serve you now without unnecessary long-term commitment. Protecting your health during recovery periods is just as important as supporting long-term care situations.
