Why care homes use this

Care homes specify a standing aid such as the Sara Stedy for residents who do not need, and would be over-assisted by, a full sling hoist -- it supports and encourages the resident to bear some of their own weight during the transfer, which both promotes independence and reduces the manual handling burden on staff compared to a full hoist transfer for residents who do not clinically need one.

Key specification

Maximum user weight 182 kg (29 stone); unit weight 29.4 kg; total length 920mm; leg width 490mm closed, 880mm open; storage height 1050mm.
