Patient Lift Rental Near Me Illinois Home Delivery
Helping someone move from a bed to a chair or from a wheelchair to a toilet is one of the hardest and riskiest parts of home caregiving. Done incorrectly it can cause serious injury to both the patient and the caregiver. A patient lift takes that risk away completely. It handles the transfer safely and smoothly every time so the person being moved stays comfortable and the caregiver stays safe.
At Reliable DME Pro we offer patient lift rentals throughout Illinois with same day delivery and full setup at your home. We also show the caregiver exactly how to operate the equipment before we leave so everyone feels confident.
What Is Included With Your Patient Lift Rental
Every patient lift rental includes delivery, full setup, and a hands-on demonstration of how to use the lift safely. We make sure the caregiver is comfortable operating the equipment before we leave.
We carry sit-to-stand lifts like the Sara Stedy which are ideal for patients who have some weight-bearing ability and just need help transitioning from sitting to standing. We also carry full electric lifts like the Hoyer Power for patients who need to be completely supported during transfers, and the Invacare Sit-to-Stand Power Patient Lift for caregivers who need a powered option for standing transfers.
Not sure which type is right for your patient? Call us and describe their condition and mobility level. We will recommend the correct equipment.
How Long Can You Rent a Patient Lift
Patient lift rentals typically run one to six months. The most common situations are patients recovering from major surgery or a stroke who need transfer assistance during rehabilitation, families caring for an elderly parent who needs help moving safely at home, and patients waiting on insurance approval for a permanent lift.
We offer flexible month to month rentals. If the patient’s condition improves and the lift is no longer needed you can return it early. If more time is needed we simply extend. Pickup is always included at no extra charge.
Does Medicare Cover a Patient Lift Rental
Medicare Part B can cover patient lifts when they are considered medically necessary. Your doctor needs to document that the patient has a condition requiring mechanical lifting for safe transfers at home. This commonly applies to patients who have had a stroke, severe neurological conditions, or significant mobility limitations following surgery.
We work with Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial insurance plans. When you call us we check your coverage right away and tell you exactly what is covered before we deliver. Private pay options are available as well.

Common Questions About Patient Lift Rentals
Most of our electric patient lifts are designed to be operated by a single caregiver. We demonstrate exactly how during delivery and setup.
A sit-to-stand lift is for patients who can bear some weight and just need help getting up. A full patient lift is for patients who cannot bear any weight and need to be fully supported during the transfer. We will recommend the right type based on your patient’s condition.
