Free Hoyer Lifts & Patient Lift Assistance
Patient lifts assist with transfers when a suitable lift and sling are used by someone trained to operate them.
Compare your assistance options
Free or donated equipment may become yours, while a loan normally needs to be returned. Reuse programs can offer loans, gifts or reduced-price sales. Funding and insurance resources may help with costs without supplying equipment directly.
What to confirm before you apply
Confirm the lift type, sling compatibility, capacity, available space and training. Never assume a donated sling is appropriate for the intended user.
- Does the program serve your address?
- Is the item currently available, or is there a waitlist?
- What fees, deposits or return terms apply?
- Do you need an order, referral or proof of residency?
- Where do you collect it, and is delivery available?
Coverage and funding
Medicare, Medicaid and VA routes have separate requirements. Discuss the equipment with your provider and the responsible plan or program before relying on coverage.

Common questions
Does a listing guarantee free equipment?
No. Review the benefit type and contact the organization. Inventory, costs and eligibility can change.
What if the exact equipment is not listed?
Ask the program directly or broaden the search. The directory only tags equipment supported by its research; an absent tag does not establish that the program never carries the item.
Can I visit without calling?
Call first to confirm service eligibility, the collection address, hours and stock. Some listed addresses are administrative or mailing locations.
