In My Home Accessibility teamed up with Amico - a 40 year old company - and one with the broadest range of patient handling products for home and hospitals. In the dynamic landscape of healthcare and homecare, the quest for innovative solutions that enhance patient comfort and caregiver efficiency is ongoing. Among the remarkable advancements in this field are ceiling lifts and patient lifts and with Amico we have the latest safe and innovative lifts which are easier to use and easy to clean for hygiene. Amico Patien Ceiling Lifts are designed to facilitate safe and seamless transfers, have become indispensable in both healthcare institutions and home environments. Let's explore the unique benefits they bring to the table.


  1. Safe and Secure Patient Transfers: Ceiling lifts and patient lifts are engineered with a primary focus on safety and hygiene. They eliminate the need for manual lifting, minimizing the risk of injuries during transfers. Whether in a hospital room or at home, these devices provide a secure and controlled means of moving individuals with limited mobility, ensuring their safety and well-being.

  2. Adaptable to Various Settings: One of the standout features of ceiling lifts and patient lifts is their versatility. While commonly found in hospitals and rehabilitation centers, these devices have seamlessly transitioned into homecare settings. Families caring for loved ones with mobility challenges can install these lifts in bedrooms, bathrooms, or any space requiring patient transfers. In My Home Accessibility offers quick installation by certified technicians.

  3. Enhancing Caregiver Experience in Home Settings: Homecare can be physically demanding for caregivers, especially when assisting individuals with limited mobility. Ceiling lifts and patient lifts alleviate this strain by providing a mechanical aid for transfers. Caregivers can perform tasks with greater ease, promoting their well-being and ensuring a positive caregiving experience.

  4. Space Optimization in Home Environments: Homes often have limited space compared to healthcare facilities. Ceiling lifts address this challenge by utilizing overhead tracks, optimizing floor space. This design allows for smooth and efficient transfers without compromising the layout of the home, making it a practical choice for those seeking to balance functionality and space.

  5. Promoting Independence and Dignity at Home: The ability to move independently is a fundamental aspect of maintaining dignity for individuals with limited mobility. Ceiling lifts and patient lifts empower patients to navigate their homes with minimal assistance, fostering a sense of independence and preserving their dignity within the familiar surroundings of home.

  6. User-Friendly Design and Controls: Modern ceiling lifts and patient lifts are designed with user-friendliness and Amico focuses on hygiene and ease of cleaning as well featuring rounded edges on remotes and lift units in mind. Intuitive controls make these devices accessible to both healthcare professionals and family caregivers. The ease of operation ensures that individuals with varying levels of expertise can confidently and safely use the lifts.

  7. Cost-Effective Long-Term Solution: While the initial investment in ceiling lifts and patient lifts may seem substantial, their long-term benefits make them a cost-effective solution. Reduced caregiver injuries, enhanced patient well-being, and the extended lifespan of these durable devices contribute to their overall economic value.

  8. Ceiling Lifts can be a quicker and more cost efective than a bathroom or other remodel: Ceiling lifts can be typically installed in one day. If any cutouts above doorways, or the replacement of doors, may extend the install a few days longer. Regardless, it'll have a much shorter timeline than a bathroom remodel, which could take weeks. This can be most crucial for anyone being discharged from the hospital that would need a transfer system installed sooner.

Conclusion: Ceiling lifts and patient lifts have transcended the boundaries of healthcare institutions, finding a crucial place in homecare settings. As these devices continue to evolve, they promise to redefine the standards of comfort and care for individuals with limited mobility and the dedicated caregivers supporting them in both healthcare facilities and the warmth of their homes.
