Choose the right level of support
Compare the task, person, and home before choosing equipment.

01Name the task
- Describe what has become difficult in everyday words.
- Consider where it happens and whether another person is needed.
- Make a note of sizing, weight capacity, and home constraints.
02Compare product details
- Start with a simple option that appropriately addresses the need.
- Compare what each product does, its setup, and its limitations.
- Review manufacturer instructions and verified compatibility information.
03Ask for guidance
- If transfers require hands-on assistance, ask a qualified professional to assess equipment needs.
- If fit, balance, or safe use is uncertain, pause the purchase and get guidance.
- For recovery, follow the discharge plan and confirm changes with the care team.
