"I
know from watching my husband's petite mother move her husband, who
suffered with Parkinson's, that moving a person from one point to
another can be an exhausting and traumatic event that occurs countless
times each day. Most times, people are moved by a caregiver 'hugging'
them and using their own body weight to forcibly twist, push and pull.
It's dangerous for both and raises quality-of-life issues and lessens
the persons dignity.
That's why we invented
The Williamson Turn Stand." Marsha
Williamson, Wife of inventor.

by yourself.

or worsening their condition every time you have to move them
