Frequently Asked Questions

How do we get started with SideLyer? +
Getting started is easy, schedule a virtual demonstration with one of our product specialists. Your staff will get an in-depth look at SideLyer’s features, understand how the system supports a range of clinical care activities and have the opportunity to ask detailed questions. After the demonstration is complete, your facility can participate in a free 90 day trial to try the system out in real caregiving situations before purchasing.
Is SideLyer covered by insurance? +
Depending on individual circumstances, a lot of customers qualify for insurance coverage. Retail purchase price is $11,000 with qualifying insurance coverage or $6,900 without insurance assistance. We make the process easier by reviewing the eligibility requirements, discussing available coverage, and outlining the expected costs before you make a purchase.
Can our facility in Reading rent SideLyer instead of purchasing it? +
Absolutely. Our rental program is available for facilities that would rather rent the equipment than purchase it. The monthly rental rate is $550. The agreement includes a minimum rental term of 13 months, providing a practical option for organizations evaluating long-term implementation.
How can SideLyer help reduce the risk of bed sores? +
People with limited mobility are at higher risk of developing pressure injuries because they cannot change positions on their own. SideLyer’s motorized repositioning technology continually repositions pressure, aids circulation and protects vulnerable skin. This method has led to up to 10 times fewer bed sores and has helped reduce complications related to the development of wounds.
Why do 93% of healthcare professionals recommend SideLyer for patients at high risk of bed sores? +
SideLyer is strongly recommended due to the advantages for patients and caregivers. The automated positioning system reduces the need for manual handling while encouraging healthy circulation, preserving skin integrity, supporting therapeutic care, simplifying daily caregiving responsibilities, and helping residents participate more comfortably in social interaction through adjustable positioning.
Is the SideLyer covered by warranty? What is covered and for how long? +
Yes. SideLyer offers a one-year manufacturer’s warranty on major system components. For customers who want longer protection, we offer an extended warranty that provides full coverage for up to 3 years.
How does SideLyer support resident dignity and wound healing in ICF/IID settings? +
SideLyer maintains resident dignity with gentle automated movement to help reduce the discomfort of frequent manual repositioning. Therapeutic positioning done regularly also helps people recovering from pressure injuries, surgical wounds and other wounds that require ongoing clinical management.
Will SideLyer help with staff safety goals? +
Yes. SideLyer supports caregivers by reducing the number of physically strenuous movements involved in manual resident repositioning. Decreasing repetitive lifting and turning helps facilities improve caregiver safety, while also improving pressure injury prevention efforts for residents living with mobility challenges or recovering from wounds that benefit from consistent therapeutic positioning.

Its value is much greater than just everyday care. SideLyer is commonly used in conjunction with wound management strategies, caregiver training on competency, infection control protocols, and discussions with residents and their families on individualized care planning. This wide range of applications supports a more coordinated and comprehensive strategy to care for the residents.
Can caregivers operate SideLyer safely without extensive training? +
Yes. Ease of use has been a priority in the development of SideLyer, enabling caregivers to quickly get to grips with the controls and operate the system with confidence after only minimal instruction. This allows for facilities to deploy the technology efficiently, requiring little staff training.
Is SideLyer appropriate for group homes, residential care, or skilled nursing facilities? +
Yes. The system is smooth and quiet and is ideal for many residential care environments such as group homes and skilled nursing facilities. SideLyer helps prevent pressure injuries and support recovery from diabetic ulcers, traumatic wounds, surgical wounds and other complex skin conditions while supporting residents with mobility limitations.
Does SideLyer support Reading residents who are medically fragile? +
Yes. SideLyer encourages gentle, stable repositioning for medically fragile residents and those recovering from surgical procedures. It also has the ability to augment normal pressure relief, which makes it a useful adjunct to more sophisticated wound management strategies such as negative pressure wound therapy.
