Getting Around the House

Sling Lifts:

	Designed to lift and transfer in/out of bed, or onto the toilet and into the bath
	Sling Lifts can be portable or mounted on a track in the ceiling to assist with between room transfers

Widening doorways:

	If more than an inch or two is needed, a wider doorway and door can be installed
