Overview

| The Product

The Bestcare BestMove STA400 Standing Up Transfer Aid 400lb is the best stand assist in the market. It is NOT a patient lift but a standing transfer aid. The transfer process for the patient is quick, easy, and requires little from the caregiver. This gives a convenient alternative to the wheelchair. 

 

| Using the Product

The BestMove STA400 uses the Raising Belt (TS30760) which ensures safe transfer of the patients from a sitting position to a standing as well as from a standing position to a sitting position. Patients must be able to bear most if not all of their weight in order to use this transfer aid. 

 

| Affordability

Dansons Medical believes that everyone, especially those struggling with illness, injury, or aging, deserves affordability. We aim to do this through a couple of ways:

  • We provide free shipping on every product we have so that the price you see is the price you pay.
  • We often give special discounts, deals, and rewards through our newsletter. Anyone can sign up for this by entering their email at the bottom of the website.
  • We offer a low-price match guarantee. If you can find a lower price than us, contact us with a link and if allowed by the manufacturer, we will match it. 
  • We understand affordability means customer service done right. We aim to be as communicative as possible and incur as little problems as possible.

    A game changer

    Great Company!

    I had to unfortunately return this product due to the patient becoming a hospice situation. However the company and Tamara in particular gave me the best service I have received in a LONG time! So even though I cannot review the product (but it looks like it would have been great for our needs at the time.) I would like to give top marks for understanding and service! Both my wife and I REALLY appreciated this at a very difficult time.

In response to patient being fearful to use the device

I am a PT who is researching this for a patient. My suggestion to the people who are caring for someone who is reluctant to use a new device is to ask your doctor for a Home Health PT or OT evaluation. Most insurances will cover this if there is a documented need in the doctor notes (during a face to face or virtual visit), and a prescription. This can be justified by improving patient safety, increasing mobility, preventing pressure sores. Sometimes a referral can be for "safety assessment using new equipment" or "caregiver training." This may take one visit but more likely a few visits to build confidence and get the patient to accept something new.

Lesley,

We thank you so much for leaving this valuable information for others! I'm sure others will find this extremely helpful :)

Such a clever device!

Sturdy, well-designed, does the intended job. It is easy for me (age 84) to operate for my husband (88), although he is much heavier than I. We both find it considerably easier to make a transfer with this device than with his walker.
Prior to my purchase, Best Care informed me by phone that the device would roll smoothly on carpet (except shag carpet). However, I have found it very difficult to move it on carpet when empty, and nearly impossible to do so with my husband on it. When I placed a plastic "desk chair pad" over the carpet, it greatly eased the movement of the device. I wonder if you offer "carpet casters"? Of course, it rolls smoothly on tile or hardwood floors.
The wheels fit easily under our bed, and around the toilet, but their width apart is about 1" too wide for the front wheels of the wheelchair to straddle them. We accommodate this by having my husband step onto the floor when getting on or off the transfer assist device rather than being able to make a direct transfer.

Betsy,

I'm glad the STA400 has been working wonderfully for you! We're especially glad its easy for you to operate :)

I'm sorry to hear the carpet is a bit of a problem and unfortunately, Bestcare only has one type of caster for this product. I'll relay that to them on something they could possibly improve on, but I'm glad that you figured out a solution.

We hope to service you again :)

Great product, stubborn patient

The product is great, but trying to get my mother on it, it's something else. When she says no, it's no. It would be so great if she would accept it, it would help both us so much.

Glad you like the product! I really hope your mother can come around and I wish you all the best! If it helps convincing, the STA is designed to actually help exercise the patient's muscles while getting up. It's a great way to support a patient while still activating their body. We hope to service you again in the future!

Excellent product; fast service.

After a one hour assembly, i was impressed by the build quality. Using the STA400 was easy, and my wife felt safe and secure. She needed to grasp the second handrail in order to clear her bottom for the butt supports.

Paul, I'm glad that the product worked well for you! We hope to service you again.
