Dignity Lifts help you get down to and up from the toilet easilyThey give you a slow and steady lift back to the upright position. It takes a brief 26 seconds for this lift get you from fully seated to a standing position. Strong handles ensure you'll be able to do this without the need for a helper.
Dignity Lifts prevent fallsIf your leg "falls asleep" on the toilet, it can be very difficult to keep your balance. Bathroom falls are especially dangerous because there are many hard surfaces. It is better to have a steady, safe way to stand up.
When is a good time to consider a dignity lift?One sign you will benefit from using our lift is when you start using a walker. The need to steady yourself when walking is an indication that you will probably also need assistance standing after using the toilet. You should also consider a dignity lift if you have trouble standing up from a seated position.

Installing a Dignity Lift is easyIt is as simple as removing your current toilet seat and putting the Dignity Lift BL1 in its place. The BL1 is a little heavy, so you want to make sure the installer can lift 50 pounds, but once in place, it is extremely stable and secure. If you don't think you are able to install the lift yourself, we offer White Glove Delivery as well. We also offer installation videos (see below) so you or your handyman will have no trouble installing your toilet lift.
The BL1 plugs into the wallBe sure the plug is on a GFI circuit (bathroom circuits require this to prevent electrical shocks). If you have a plug near your toilet, maybe one you use for a blow dryer or shaver, that will work. Do not run an extension cord from a different room to power your Dignity Lift. Outlets outside the bathroom are not safe for applications that are close to water. If you don't have good access at the toilet to electricity, you should consider our Deluxe Toilet Lift - DL1 it has a rechargeable battery that only needs to be charged once per month.
