We have now placed my dad in a nursing home. Financially in a pickle. How can I sell his brand new Hoyer lift?
$$ would help. Plz advise. Hoyer lift was never used and stair chair lift is like new. We are trying to sell these to help with our bills. Helping my dad cost us financially but would do it again if I had to.
Was the hoyer lift gotten thru Medicare. If so, I would check with the supplier/store you received it from and make sure Medicare isn't just renting it. If so, it goes back to the supplier/store.
If you use facebook, see if there is a yardsale site in your area. Or like suggested, see if the supplier will by it back. Call the care agencies in the area, see if they have clients looking for one. Call the nursing homes, see if they are willing to purchase one.
The stair chair lift is going to be hard. They are pretty much custom made to the stairs. You can call where you purchased it from to see if they will buy back but it maybe a fraction of the cost. They probably will just reuse parts. You can advertise hoping someone has the same configuration. My VNA was donated one but we were never able to find a client who could use it.
Check with the supplier, they may take the hoyer lift back if it hasn't been too long. I'm not sure about the stair lift though, you may need to sell it at a discount where ever you can.
