Rifton Support Station

The Rifton Support Station brings dignity and convenience to hygiene care for people with disabilities. In addition to hygiene, it can also be used to aid any sit-to-stand transfer. With the Support Station, even partially weight-bearing individuals can receive hygiene care in an upright position. This makes the process more dignified, improves access to clothing and skin and eliminates heavy lifting on the part of the caregiver. Even people with limited weight bearing ability can participate in their own personal care, and personal care tasks also become an opportunity to practice transfer skills. The Support System eliminates transfers to a mat or changing table, resulting in less lifting and improved safety for caregivers and reducing the time needed for toileting or personal care tasks. 

The Support Station folds flat against the wall when not in use, has an easily cleanable frame and upholstery, and a quick release kneeboard. Handholds and slots in the trunk board enable the user to assist in a transfer, and the support strap provides additional security during hygiene care.
