We support mobility with respect, using equipment that enables movement without feeling degrading or uncomfortable.
Equipment and Assessment
We assess your parent’s home and mobility needs, recommending appropriate hoists, slide sheets, and handling adaptations.
Safe Hoisting Protects Your Parent’s Mobility and Safety
What Hoisting Care Involves
Hoisting care means using mechanical hoists, slide sheets, turning sheets, or other equipment to move and reposition your parent safely. This is essential for parents with significant mobility limitations — those unable to weight-bear, those recovering from surgery, or those with conditions like stroke or Parkinson’s that severely limit movement. Manual handling without equipment risks back injury to carers and discomfort or harm to your parent. Our trained carers in Lowestoft are certified in manual handling and use hoists competently and compassionately. We support your parent from bed to chair, from chair to toilet, in and out of showers — using equipment that makes movement safe and as comfortable as possible. We understand that hoisting is sensitive for many people, and we manage it with respect and explanation.
Assessing Equipment and Minimising Risk
Every parent has different hoisting needs. Someone recovering from hip surgery needs different support than someone with progressive Parkinson’s disease. Our care coordinator Stef Clark RMN, with 30+ years in care management, assesses your parent’s mobility, strength, and specific challenges. We recommend appropriate equipment — a ceiling hoist for someone unable to weight-bear at all, a mobile hoist for more varied movement, or slide sheets and handling techniques for partial mobility. We liaise with occupational therapists if specialist assessment is needed. We also train your family in hoisting techniques so everyone involved can help safely. Our carers use OpenPass to document how your parent is moved, what equipment is used, and any concerns about their tolerance or comfort. This detailed logging helps us refine our approach.
Why Families Choose Amari Care Services for Hoisting Care
Amari Care Services has provided safe hoisting care to 10 families across Lowestoft and Suffolk for over a decade. Families consistently report that professional hoisting support transforms their parent’s quality of life — they can move from bed to chair, sit at a table for meals, move to different rooms in their home. Without safe hoisting, many people become bedbound. Our carers are trained, certified, and supervised in manual handling. They understand both the technical safety and the emotional experience of being hoisted. With a 9.3/10 rating and Good CQC registration, we deliver hoisting care that maintains your parent’s dignity while protecting their safety and ours. Our Lowestoft team, supervised by Stef Clark RMN, brings professionalism and compassion to every movement.
Hoisting care is part of our complex care service in Lowestoft. We also support physical disability care, stroke support, and nine home care services across Suffolk.
