Hoyer Journey Portable Electric Sit to Stand Patient Lift by Joerns

The Hoyer Journey has been a great investment for me. It fits just right given that we have a rather small house. Highly recommended.

..."In 2016 Camp PossAbility acquired five Hoyer lifts which were used in the cabins, at the zip line, and with a
gantry at the lake.
“In general, people with quadriplegia don’t have a lot of body control,” Lauren said. “Many of our campers had
never done water activities, but because of the lift at the lake, everyone was able to go canoeing. That was a
huge difference for us compared to the first year. Also during our first year we needed up to five people to get
each camper into the zip line chair. Logistically it was extremely difficult and it was scary for the campers too.
With the Hoyer lift, the transfer only requires one volunteer.”

...The volunteers were also on Lauren’s mind when she decided
to acquire the lifts. “People are giving up a lot; they shouldn’t
have to be exhausted or fear an injury,” she said. “Some
volunteers probably would not have come back if we didn’t
have the lifts.”
Today, Hoyer lifts are a seamless part of Camp PossAbility. “Now that we’ve used them, we can’t imagine not
using them,” Lauren said. “The camp didn’t seem the same the second year and the lifts were a huge part of it.
Even the campers felt that way. They made a huge difference.”...
