Frequently Asked Questions

How do we get started with SideLyer? +
Your facility can begin the process by setting up a virtual demonstration with one of our product specialists. In this demo we will walk you through all of SideLyer’s capabilities and give your team an opportunity to dive into clinical applications and ask detailed questions. Once you’re finished, your facility can participate in a free 90-day trial to see how SideLyer fits into your daily care program.
Is SideLyer covered by insurance? +
There are many people who qualify for insurance coverage. The retail price is $11,000 with insurance coverage and $6,900 without. We help families and facilities through the coverage process, reviewing eligibility and expected costs before purchase.
Can our facility in Pennsylvania rent SideLyer instead of purchasing it? +
Yes, absolutely. Facilities may opt for a rental agreement rather than outright purchase of the system. Monthly rentals are $550 and a minimum 13 month commitment is required.
How can SideLyer help reduce the risk of bed sores? +
Bedsores are common because patients cannot move themselves enough to take pressure off vulnerable areas. SideLyer uses motorized repositioning to improve circulation and prevent long-term pressure, resulting in up to 10 times fewer bed sores and helping to minimize wound-related complications.
Why do 93% of healthcare professionals recommend SideLyer for patients at high risk of bed sores? +
SideLyer is recommended to improve patient outcomes and caregiver safety. The motorized system reduces the need for manual repositioning, promoting good circulation, protecting skin integrity, supporting rehabilitation, easing daily care activities and helping patients stay socially involved with comfortable eye-level positioning.
Is the SideLyer covered by warranty? What is covered and for how long? +
Yes, SideLyer includes a one year standard manufacturer’s warranty on major system components. You can also purchase an optional warranty extension for peace of mind, which provides coverage for three years.

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

+
SideLyer’s smooth motorized movement takes the strain out of frequent manual repositioning, providing a more comfortable and respectful care experience. It also helps residents recovering from pressure wounds, surgical wounds, and other wounds that require ongoing wound care when therapeutic positioning is used consistently.
Will SideLyer help with staff safety goals? +
Yes. SideLyer allows caregivers to avoid many of the repetitive lifting and turning tasks used in manual resident repositioning. This allows facilities to promote safer caregiving practices while improving efforts to prevent pressure injuries for residents who have limited mobility or wounds that require ongoing care.

SideLyer is frequently incorporated into wound management protocols, caregiver training, infection control practices, and discussions with patients and families about appropriate repositioning and ongoing care planning, thereby extending its use beyond daily care.
Can caregivers operate SideLyer safely without extensive training? +
Yes. The caregiver learns the easy-to-use controls quickly and can operate the system with confidence with minimal instruction.
Is SideLyer appropriate for group homes, residential care, or skilled nursing facilities? +
Yes. Its quiet operation lends itself to use in residential and skilled nursing environments. SideLyer helps residents with limited mobility move, while supporting wound prevention and recovery for diabetic ulcers, traumatic injuries and other complex wounds.
Does SideLyer support Pennsylvania residents who are medically fragile? +
Yes. Gentle motorized movement encourages stable repositioning for the medically fragile and residents recovering from surgery. It also enables advanced wound care strategies such as negative pressure wound therapy, by promoting regular pressure relief.
