Frequently Asked Questions

How do we get started with SideLyer? +
You can get started by booking an online demo with the SideLyer team. In this virtual meeting you will see the equipment in action, discuss your needs for your facility and ask questions about implementation. Following the demonstration, you can enjoy a free 90-day trial to experience how SideLyer fits into your current care processes.
Is SideLyer covered by insurance? +
Insurance coverage is usually available for qualified persons. The system is priced at $11,000 with insurance coverage, or $6,900 for those buying without insurance. Our representatives can review your coverage, talk through eligibility and explain any out-of-pocket costs before you move forward.
Can our facility in Florida rent SideLyer instead of purchasing it? +
Absolutely. SideLyer provides a rental option for ICF/IID facilities that want more flexibility. Each rental costs $550 per month and requires a minimum 13-month commitment.
How can SideLyer help reduce the risk of bed sores? +
If patients are not repositioned, bedsores develop over long periods of time, impairing healthy blood flow. SideLyer uses motor driven therapeutic positioning to relieve pressure to vulnerable areas and improve circulation. This means patients can experience up to 10 times fewer pressure injuries, reducing discomfort and the need for extensive wound care.
Why do 93% of healthcare professionals recommend SideLyer for patients at high risk of bed sores? +
Many clinicians recommend SideLyer to make repositioning safer, easier and more consistent for patients and their caregivers. However, the button control of movement can significantly reduce the physical effort of manual repositioning. It also provides pressure relief, healthy circulation, skin protection, participation in therapy and increased social interaction due to the comfortable raised position.
Is the SideLyer covered by warranty? What is covered and for how long? +
Yes. SideLyer carries a standard one-year manufacturer's warranty on critical system components. Facilities can also opt to buy an extended warranty that provides protection for a total of three years.

How does SideLyer support resident dignity and wound healing in ICF/IID settings?

+
SideLyer eliminates the need for frequent manual repositioning and provides smooth motorized movement to help preserve resident dignity throughout daily care. Consistent repositioning may also help to heal pressure injuries and surgical wounds, and make for a more comfortable care experience for all involved.
Will SideLyer help with staff safety goals? +
Yes. SideLyer reduces the physical demands on caregivers by removing much of the manual lifting and turning that is involved in resident care. “This helps create safer daily care routines and supports facility efforts to prevent pressure injuries in residents with limited mobility and complex wound care needs.

Many ICF/IID facilities also incorporate SideLyer into their broader clinical care strategies that include wound care management, staff education, infection control practices, and conversations with residents and families about ongoing repositioning and long-term support.
Can caregivers operate SideLyer safely without extensive training? +
Yes. The controls are simple to use and quick to learn so staff can operate the system with confidence with little instruction.
Is SideLyer appropriate for group homes, residential care, or skilled nursing facilities? +
Yes. Quiet in operation, the system is suitable for home-like environments, shared rooms and skilled nursing facilities. It supports comfort, pressure injury prevention and wound healing for diabetic ulcers, traumatic injuries and more, while helping residents with routine repositioning.
Does SideLyer support Florida residents who are medically fragile? +
Yes. The motorized slow motion of it allows for safe repositioning of medically fragile and post-surgical residents. It provides consistent pressure relief to advanced wound care modalities such as negative pressure wound therapy.
