We used an electric ceiling lift over our bed and over the bath tub. We had a very tall portable lift in the living room for over Bob's recliner. All equipment along with 2 slings were provided by our ALS Society through a Medical supply store here. We had somebody from home care and the supply company show us how to use the lifts/slings. It was a bit daunting for the first couple of tries but then it became relatively simple and oh so helpful. My husband was around 200 lbs. We started using this when he was no longer able to transfer. If a 2300 pounder can use it, you should have no trouble Yasmin.
