How We Work

Our Pittsburgh Patient Lift Evaluation & Installation Process

Every project starts with an in-home evaluation from our Pittsburgh team before a patient lift system or equipment layout is recommended.

1

Free In-Home Evaluation

We review transfer locations, room clearances, available space, ceiling or track conditions where applicable, and the capacity and equipment requirements for the proposed lift system.

2

System Recommendation

Based on the home layout and equipment requirements, we recommend an appropriate fixed ceiling, freestanding gantry, or mobile floor lift system and provide a written estimate.

3

Installation, Setup & Training

Our Pittsburgh technicians install or set up the selected equipment, test its operation, and provide hands-on instruction for the user and caregivers.

Altamira evaluates the home and equipment configuration; we do not prescribe transfer methods or make clinical determinations about a person's mobility, sling selection, or care needs. Those decisions belong with the individual's physician, therapist, or care team, and we can coordinate equipment requirements with them when appropriate.
