[quote=Anonymous]The home health aide service we have been using for my 83-yo dad (who is no longer ambulatory and suffering from advanced dementia) explained that OSHA rules do not permit their aides to lift more than 50 lbs. This is a huge problem for my also-elderly mother. We have been doing the best we can. We are looking into getting a "Hoyer lift" for him. Wondering if anyone else has worked with/around this issue? Many thanks.[/quote]
