Move With Confidence — Anywhere
RN-Recommended Portable Lift Assist Solutions
Nursing Liaisons partners with SitnStand because they solve a very specific — and very common — problem:
Difficulty rising from a seated position while still walking independently.
Many adults remain fully ambulatory but struggle with:
-
- Low restaurant chairs
- Car transfers
- Waiting room seating
- Soft couches
- Repeated sit-to-stand movements
This is one of the most overlooked mobility limitations — and one of the biggest drivers of loss of independence.

Why This Matters
15–20% of adults over 65 report difficulty rising from a chair.
Mobility limitation is the most common functional impairment in older adults.
Chair-rise difficulty leads to:
-
- Increased fall risk
- Reduced social participation
- Caregiver strain
- Earlier transitions to higher levels of care
A portable lift assist removes a major barrier to independence.
Why Nursing Liaisons Recommends SitnStand
We evaluate mobility products through a clinical lens.
SitnStand:
-
- Promotes active muscle engagement
- Improves balance during transition
- Reduces strain on caregivers
- Preserves dignity
- Is realistic for daily use
We do not recommend products that promote dependency when independence is achievable.
