At RJ Lifts, we know how important it is to provide efficient and secure internal transport options for patients in healthcare facilities. A recent government study showed that 46% of disabled people noted having difficulty accessing medical facilities – specialised lift systems are vital to the smooth operation of healthcare spaces, reducing risk and improving patient comfort.
Like healthcare workers, building owners have a duty of care to lift users to keep their lift system accessible, safe and well-maintained. Throughout this blog, we will explore essential lift systems and their function in medical services, from bed and stair lifts to tailored hospital and care home lifts.
At RJ Lifts, we offer a 24/7, 365 days-a-year lift refurbishment, installation and repair service. Contact us today to get your FREE quote and transform your business with accessible and secure lift services – we guarantee a 3-hour response time and aim to arrive in 30 minutes for emergency callouts.
Why Healthcare Lifts Are Crucial for Hospitals & Care Homes
Statistics show that adults aged over 80 are 3 times more likely to fall in a care home than anywhere else. Specialised lifts are not just a matter of convenience – they are crucial to maintaining standards of care, safety regulations and optimising efficiency. Here are some key benefits of installing specialised healthcare lifts in hospitals & care homes:
- Enhanced Efficiency – By using specialised passenger and goods lifts, healthcare facilities can reduce the physical strain on workers, allowing them to focus on patient care. At RJ Lifts, we provide high-quality, low-maintenance goods and service lifts to suit every circumstance – check out our range today.
- Reducing Staff Risk – Manual lifting of goods or patients can cause muscular issues and expose healthcare workers to various injuries. Secure lift options help minimise these risks by making the transport process much smoother.
- Increased Patient Independence – For patients with accessibility challenges, hospital and care home lifts provide an essential mode of transport throughout the facility. Ensure your patients can access different floors and rooms in your building with RJ Lifts passenger lift services.
- Health & Safety Maintenance – Healthcare lifts must comply with internationally recognised standards and regulations. With specialised hospital and care home lifts, you can ensure patient safety and prevent compliance or legal issues.

Just wanted to say that the wheelchair user was delighted this morning to be able to get to the Café for a cup of tea. I bumped into your engineer in and discovered he was the guy who got the lift running yesterday so I thanked and told him Have a good day
