CareGiver-Lift®: A Safe and Portable Solution for Effective Patient Transfers

The Problem: Caregivers Need a Reliable Way to Lift and Transfer Their Loved Ones

Most caregivers face the challenge of safely lifting and moving their loved ones without assistance. Traditional gait belts are meant to assist with walking, not lifting, and can slip or cause strain. Hoyer lifts, though effective, are bulky, facility-bound devices that aren’t practical for home use or travel. Caregivers need a portable, versatile tool that provides the same level of safety for transfers, without the limitations.

The Guide: Paul Swearingen, Caregiver and Engineer

Hi, I’m Paul Swearingen. When my wife was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and later Lewy body dementia, I quickly realized that the available tools were inadequate. Gait belts weren’t safe for lifting, and a Hoyer lift was too bulky for use in our home. I needed something that was both portable and effective—so I created the CareGiver-Lift®. Every day, I’m guided by a simple question: "What good can I do today?" For me, this meant creating a tool that truly makes a difference for caregivers—something portable, effective, and designed to provide both safety and peace of mind.

It’s lightweight, compact, and perfect for use at home, on outings, or while traveling—providing the independence and versatility caregivers need.
