Preventing Caregiver Back Problems

_**CRG: A caregiver's back injury, even minor, can become a major disaster in the caregiving processes. Patient Lifts , or as they are often generically called "Hoyer Lifts" from the original Hoyer brand, are a life saver.**_

_**CRG:** The cost bracket of such devices are in the $500-$2000 range. We have used personnally the simpler hydraulic model and have found they are usually sturdy and do not require substantial strength from the caregiver. This is so much safer for both the caregiver and the patient than patient transfers using a board._
