🚒 Lift Assist Fees Across the U.S. An Interesting Trend!

I've been coming across more communities implementing fees or penalties for certain non-emergency lift-assist calls, particularly at licensed care facilities.

It has me curious about something beyond the fees themselves.

As communities evaluate the cost of these calls, are they also evaluating how fall recovery is being performed?

Whether it's Fire/EMS or facility staff responding, having the right training, procedures, and equipment can make a meaningful difference in reducing manual lifting risks.

I'd love to hear perspectives from both Fire/EMS and senior living professionals!

I'm curious! For departments that have implemented lift-assist fees, have you noticed a reduction in non-emergency calls? And if so, how are assisted living facilities handling fall recovery when they aren't requesting Fire/EMS assistance?

What changes are you seeing in your communities when it comes to safer fall recovery?

Here are six publicly documented examples I came across:

Fees, penalties, and eligibility requirements vary by jurisdiction.

What if getting someone off the floor didn't require lifting them? 👀

Kevin slides onto the Pro 500, Kevin Sr. pushes a button, and the chair does the heavy lifting!

A little father-son teamwork at EMS World Expo! 😂💙

Sometimes the best way to explain innovation is to simply show it.

As first responders, we always take measures to try and mitigate serious risks. Line-of-duty deaths and serious injuries are constantly evaluated, and further actions and procedural changes are made to try and keep them from happening again.

But what about the day-to-day injuries? The ones that may not end a career, but they alter a responder's quality of life and how they perform the job from that day forward.

Is this the fire? Is this the vehicle accident? Is this the lift assist? Is this the call that changes my life and my family's life?

With powered fall recovery equipment such as the Inva-Lift Pro 500, you don't have to worry about manual lift assists putting you on light duty, or worse. We take care of the lift so you can be at your best when you are needed the most.

For your crews, for yourself, for your piece of mind- "Get the chair"

🚨 Every second, an older adult falls in the United States.

37 million falls every year.

9 million fall injuries.

3 million emergency department visits.

1 million hospitalizations.

41,000 deaths.

Those numbers should make all of us pay attention.

But here's the question I don't think we're asking enough:
What happens AFTER the fall?

We have spent decades talking about fall prevention and we absolutely should.

But falls are still happening.

And when someone is on the floor and unable to get themselves back up, the answer in far too many environments is still:

Call more staff.
Manually lift them.
Or call 911.

That is beginning to change.
Communities across the country are addressing non-emergency lift-assist calls. Bellingham, Washington recently approved a $1,000 fee for licensed care facilities using 911 for non-emergency lifting assistance.

And OSHA has been clear: minimize manual patient lifting and eliminate it whenever possible. Proper body mechanics alone are not enough.

So maybe the next evolution in fall safety isn't just better Fall Prevention.

Maybe it's finally building a real standard for Fall Recovery.

Assessment.
Equipment.
Training.

A repeatable process.

Protect the person who fell.
Protect the person helping them back up.

And keep emergency resources available for emergencies.

We know people will fall. It's time we get just as serious about how we get them back up.

🚨Finished campaign ads coming soon!🚨But this is the part I don’t want to forget. ❤️

We spent yesterday filming the ad spots for the Inva-Lift “SAFER Lifting” campaign with KOIN 6 and we couldn’t be more grateful to all those who showed up to be involved and support this mission.

Time is one of the most valuable things a person can give, and we appreciate each and every one of you.

A special thank you to our family and friends for showing up, jumping in, and making the day so much fun!

A huge thank you to the KOIN 6 team for the creativity, professionalism, patience, and energy you brought to the day.

To the assisted living community that graciously opened its doors to us, helped coordinate everything, and welcomed all of us into their space, we are so grateful to you.

And to my sister Amy and the Hillsboro Pizza Hut team that generously catered pizza to feed our entire crew and Assisted Living staff to help support the day, THANK YOU!! 🍕❤️

Behind all of this is a mission we care deeply about: changing the way we recover people from the floor by giving caregivers and first responders a safer option while protecting the dignity of the person who has fallen.

Yesterday wasn’t just about filming a campaign.

It was about getting that mission in front of more people.
And seeing so many people willing to give a piece of their day to help us do that meant more than I can say.

Now we can’t wait to see what all of you helped us create❤️

For decades....

First Responders have lifted.

Caregivers have lifted.

Nurses have lifted.

Teachers and school staff have lifted.

Family members have lifted.

Different uniforms.

Different buildings.

The exact same problem.

Not because it was the best way.

Because it was the only way.

Not anymore...

The Inva-lift Pro 500 and SAFER Lifting model are helping organizations across America rethink lift assists and fall recovery, by protecting both the person who falls and the people assisting them.

Today Inva-lift is proud to be improving safety across:

🚒Fire Departments & EMS

🏥Hospitals
