How to Choose Home Care Products
- Which sock aid: a rigid plastic sock aid with a support base holds its shape while you slide the sock on; a metal frame sock aid is sturdy and has foam handles that are easier to hold.
- Patient lift capacity: check that the lift's weight capacity is above the user's weight. Our electric patient lift supports up to 400 lb.
- Space at home: patient lifts and IV poles roll on wheels, so check that doorways and the space around the bed are wide enough to move them.
- Buy or rent: if you only need a patient lift for a short time, such as recovery after surgery, a patient lift rental may be a better fit.
- Product details: check the specifications on each product page, or call us at (847) 696-6814 for help.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sock aid?
A sock aid is a simple device that helps you put on socks without bending at the hips or back. You slide the sock over the aid, place your foot inside, and pull the handles or cords to draw the sock up your foot.
Who should use a sock aid?
Sock aids are often used by seniors, people with back pain or arthritis, and people recovering from hip or knee surgery who have been told not to bend. Follow your doctor's or therapist's advice after surgery.
What is an electric patient lift used for?
An electric patient lift helps a caregiver move a person between a bed, chair, wheelchair or commode. The lift raises and lowers the person with a battery powered motor, so the caregiver does not have to lift them by hand.
How much weight can the electric patient lift hold?
Our electric patient lift has a weight capacity of 400 lb. Always check that the user's weight is below the lift's capacity.
Can I rent a patient lift instead of buying one?
Yes. We offer patient lift rentals with free delivery, setup and pickup. Call us at (847) 696-6814 to check availability in your area.
What is an IV pole used for at home?
An IV pole holds IV bags or feeding bags at the right height next to the bed or chair. A rolling IV pole has wheels so it can move with the person around the home.
