Description

  The present invention relates to a care lift that moves a cared person safely from a bed, and more particularly to a care lift that can move while holding the cared person.

While the number of care recipients is increasing with the declining birthrate and aging population, the term “care for the elderly” has come to be used frequently as the caregivers are aging. Moreover, injuries such as low back pain and muscular pain caused by holding a cared person frequently occur in the care workplace.
In view of the current situation, a person can lift and move a cared person in a safe manner, such as when making a bed, such as moving a cared person or replacing a sheet, instead of raising a person and caring for it. Many care devices (lifts) have been proposed and some have been put into practical use.
