We have a portable lift standing by. It's electric with battery back-up. We purchased it privately because I thought the manual lift totally inappropriate in dealing with ALS. We're using a transfer board at present and will as long as its safe to do so. I really dread the prospect of being placed in one of the slings and moved. I will tolerate it only for very short distance directly from one to another. (Bed to PWC, bed to rolling shower chair etc) there will be NO moving from one room to another while in the sling, for me.
