Whether you're a family member or a professional, as a caregiver, you put yourself at risk of injury everyday. Research shows that the majority of back and shoulder injuries to caregivers are caused by overexertion when lifting, moving or repositioning patients.

The outcome of these injuries can be devastating, not only for the caregiver who stands to lose wages, but also for the patient who loses a caregiver -- often the most dependable resource they have.

Too often these costs are considered the price of patient care. We believe that this attitude must change. Today advances in ceiling lift technology and new lifting techniques have dramatically reduced the risk of injuries. The result is fewer injuries for caregivers, better care for patients, and improved access and independence for all.

Angel Accessibility Solutions has developed a number of free resources to help you avoid injuries and improve your patient's quality of life:
