Care Home Hoists & Hoist Equipment

At Berwick Care, we supply a carefully selected range of care home hoists designed to meet the needs of nursing homes, residential care facilities and complex care settings. Our solutions support both everyday transfers and specialist handling requirements, helping care providers maintain safe and consistent care standards across their organisation.

From compact models for tighter spaces to advanced powered systems, our hoists are chosen to deliver reliability, comfort and long-term value. This includes a full range of hoists for care homes, designed to support safe lifting, transferring and repositioning of residents across nursing and residential settings.

Hoists are a core part of safe moving and handling in care homes, helping staff lift, transfer and support residents with reduced mobility. Choosing the right hoists ensures safer care delivery, improved staff wellbeing and compliance with care regulations across all environments.

Reliable Hoist Solutions for Safe Patient Handling

Safe moving and handling is a core requirement in every care home. Without the right equipment, staff are exposed to increased risk of injury while residents may experience discomfort or unsafe transfers.

Our range of care home hoists is designed to support the following:

• Safe lifting and repositioning of residents

• Reduced manual handling strain for carers

• Improved dignity and comfort during transfers

• Compliance with health and safety regulations

• Consistent handling procedures across care teams

These care home hoists help organisations maintain safe and compliant moving and handling practices across all care settings. We work with trusted manufacturers such as Oxford and Invacare to ensure every hoist meets high standards of performance and safety.

Types of Care Home Hoists Available

Different care environments require different lifting solutions and the right choice of hoist depends on resident mobility levels, care requirements and available space within the setting. Selecting appropriate care home hoists is essential for ensuring safe, comfortable and efficient transfers.

Mobile Hoists

Mobile hoists are one of the most widely used lifting solutions in care homes due to their flexibility and ease of use. They are designed to move freely between rooms, making them suitable for a wide range of residents with varying levels of mobility.

Stand Aid Hoists

Standing hoists are designed for residents who retain some level of mobility and are able to support partial weight when moving from a seated to a standing position. These hoists provide controlled assistance during transfers, helping care staff support safe movement while reducing physical strain.

Why Care Home Hoists Are Essential in Modern Care Settings

Investing in the right hoisting equipment is not just about convenience. It is a critical part of care home safety and compliance strategies.

Well-selected hoists help care providers:

• Reduce manual handling injuries

• Improve staff efficiency and confidence

• Maintain compliance with safety regulations

• Deliver consistent and dignified resident care

• Reduce long-term operational risk

For care providers, choosing the right hoists for care homes is essential for maintaining both safety compliance and operational efficiency. For multi-site care providers, standardising hoist equipment also improves training efficiency and ensures consistent care delivery across all locations.

Mobile hoists and standing hoists are designed to work with compatible slings to ensure safe and secure transfers. Selecting the correct sling type is essential for maintaining comfort, safety and compliance during use.

Hoists play a vital role in reducing manual handling risks and supporting safer care delivery. For care providers, selecting the right hoists is not only a safety requirement but also a key part of operational efficiency and compliance management.
