From Homebound to Family Outings: Mrs. Sharma's Journey with the Morecare Snapdragon Patient Transfer Hoist

"Now I can comfortably take her outside on my own."

For families caring for a loved one after a stroke, daily transfers can become one of the biggest challenges. Moving someone safely from the bed to a chair, taking them to the bathroom, or simply going outside often requires multiple caregivers and considerable physical effort.

For Mrs. Manju Sharma, a 75-year-old stroke survivor from Jaipur, and her family, this was their everyday reality—until they discovered the Morecare Snapdragon Electric Patient Transfer Hoist.

Daughter-in-Law Reacts: How One Patient Hoist Transformed Grandma’s Family Outing

The journey

Before

Life Before Morecare

Following her stroke, Mrs. Sharma became dependent on her family for almost every transfer. Moving her safely from one place to another often required the help of four family members. Because every outing involved so much planning and physical effort, the family gradually stopped taking her outside. She spent most of her time indoors, while her family struggled with the physical demands of caregiving. "Earlier, we often couldn't take my mother-in-law with us because transferring her was so difficult."

Discovering Morecare

While searching for patient mobility solutions on Instagram, the family discovered Morecare. After speaking with the team about their requirements, they decided to purchase the Morecare Snapdragon Patient Transfer Hoist.

First Impressions

At first, the family had concerns. Looking at the product online, they thought it looked large and wondered whether it would be difficult to use or take outside. Those concerns disappeared after the hoist arrived. "When I first saw it on Morecare's website, I thought it looked very big and that it would take up a lot of space. But when I assembled it myself, I realized it folds easily, takes up very little space, and is surprisingly simple to assemble." The quick-fold design and removable components made it easy to transport in their car and convenient to use every day.

A New Daily Routine

Today, the Morecare Snapdragon has become part of the family's daily life. Transfers that once required several people can now be managed safely and confidently by a single caregiver. The hoist is used for: Bed to chair transfers Bed to commode transfers Indoor mobility Preparing for outings Daily caregiving routines Its foldable design also makes it easy to carry in the car for travel.

Life Beyond Home

For the family, the biggest transformation wasn't just easier transfers. It was getting their mother back into everyday life. She now accompanies the family on outings, visits relatives, and enjoys spending time outside instead of remaining at home. "Earlier, I used to stay in one place all the time. My family couldn't manage me alone, and they had to call three or four people just to move me." "Now they take me everywhere with them. I don't feel bored anymore, and I'm very happy using this product."
