Protect Your Loved Ones in Wilkes-Barre from Bed Sores with SideLyer
Most serious wounds come from something happening to the body. A pressure ulcer comes from nothing happening at all. Someone who cannot move their own weight keeps the same patch of skin pinned between bone and mattress for hours, and because the injury usually begins in the tissue beneath the surface, a caregiver can check the skin, see nothing wrong, and still be looking at a wound in progress.
SideLyer stops that sequence before it starts. Its motorized adjustment shifts the body to a fresh angle on the caregiver’s command, so blood gets back into the tissue that was bearing weight, the skin over the hips and lower back is spared, and the person is brought upright into the conversation instead of lying flat outside of it.
10× Fewer Bed Sores in Immobile Patients
When a bony part of the body presses into a surface for too long, the vessels that feed the tissue above the bone are squeezed closed, and tissue that loses its blood supply breaks down. SideLyer works against that by holding the body at angles that move weight elsewhere, giving circulation time to return before the damage sets in. People on the system get bed sores up to ten times less often, and each one avoided is a wound and a long recovery they never have to go through.

It is just as useful to family caregivers and home health providers who want a safer way to assist the people in their care. Across Luzerne County, the older generation is often looked after at home by adult children, in the same narrow two-story houses in Kingston, Plains, and Nanticoke where those children grew up. That is a choice families are proud of, and it also means that every turn, every reposition, falls to people who learned the job by doing it.

Why Families in Wilkes-Barre Choose SideLyer to Prevent Bed Sores
Every family providing care wants the same three things: a relative who is safe, who is comfortable, and who is treated with dignity. How well the person is repositioned decides much of that, and the limit is a physical one. Turning a grown adult by hand every two hours, through the night as well as the day, is more than most households can keep up for long.
In a house where the primary caregiver is also holding down a job, the ability to do a proper turn alone in under a minute is often what turns home care from a temporary arrangement into a lasting one.

Our Mission
Our purpose is to bring down the number of pressure ulcers among people with limited mobility, and to keep the caregivers who support them healthy and safe while we do it. We partner with families and healthcare facilities to prevent the pressure injuries that were avoidable and to reduce the injuries that come from lifting and turning by hand. Motorized repositioning takes strain off caregivers, makes daily care more efficient, and preserves the dignity and independence of people who are unable to turn themselves in.
