In today’s healthcare environment, nursing homes face the challenge of being short-staffed which can strain even the most dedicated teams. EZ Way can help. Our Smart Lifts and Smart Stands are designed to be operated by one-caregiver offering a practical solution that enables a single caregiver* to handle resident transfers and mobility tasks, offering substantial benefits to facilities and staff alike.
Simplifying Patient Transfers with EZ Way Lifts
EZ Way lifts are designed with user-friendly features that allow one caregiver to transfers residents safely and efficiently. Here’s how:
Easy Maneuverability - Our Smart Lifts and Smart Stands are equipped with smooth, multidirectional wheels making them easy to navigate even in tight spaces.
Multiple Control Functions - EZ Way Smart Lift and Stands come standard with three separate ways to raise and lower a person. The hand control allows the caregiver to operate the unit while standing next to the person, providing better oversight of the transfer.
Secure Support - With strong, supportive slings and harnesses and adjustable loops settings, EZ Way lifts and stands ensure patients are securely held during transfers, minimizing the risk of falls or injuries. Our special box stitching ensures that all reusable slings and harnesses can hold up to 1,000 lb. and our color-coding system makes it easy to identify the size of each sling.
Benefits of Single-Caregiver Operations
Allowing a single caregiver to operate these lifts brings multiple benefits to nursing home facilities:
Increased Efficiency - With one caregiver managing transfers, other staff can focus on different tasks, improving overall workflow and reducing delays in patient care.
Reduced Physical Strain - Caregivers are spared the physical toll of manual lifting, decreasing the risk of injuries and enhancing job satisfaction.
Enhanced Patient Care - By freeing up staff time, caregivers can provide more personalized attention to each resident, boosting care quality and satisfaction.
Addressing Staff Challenges
EZ Way Smart Lifts and Smart Stands offer a practical solution to some of the staffing challenges currently faced by nursing homes. Here’s how EZ Way equipment can make a difference:
Optimized Workforce - By enabling single-caregiver operations, facilities can make the most of their available staff, ensuring more efficient use of caregiver resources.
Cost Savings - By reducing the need for two caregivers for each transfer, facilities can manage their staffing budgets more effectively without compromising care quality.
Improved Morale - Caregivers experience less physical stress and more manageable workloads, leading to improved morale and reduced turnover rates.
Impact
Consider a typical day in a nursing home without EZ Way lifts and stands. Transferring a patient might require two caregivers, pulling them away from other duties and slowing down operations. With our Smart Lifts and Smart Stands, a single caregiver can perform the task efficiently and safely. This allows the remaining staff to focus on other essential responsibilities, improving overall care and operational efficiency.
The Smart Choice
EZ Way Smart Lifts and Smart Stands are more than just equipment—they are transformative tools that empower single-caregiver operations in nursing homes. By enabling single-caregiver operations, these tools enhance efficiency, reduce physical strain, and address staffing challenges. For nursing homes striving to maintain high-quality care amidst staffing shortages, investing in EZ Way equipment is a smart, impactful solution.
