Hey folks, As a member of another list I read of a portable lifting device to use when someone falls and has difficulty getting up. The web address is http://www.ginco.com I just saw this site today and have no affiliation with this company. I have never bought anything from them but I thought I'd pass the web address on in case someone may be interested. It is a different type than I've seen before. It looks expensive, but if you can use your hands, it looks more independent than a hoyer lift. (they have a free video) If anyone on this list has one or has seen on, you may wish to comment on the equipment on this web site. Gail
