S2E03: Fall Recovery: A Journey from Caregiver to Entrepreneur

Send us Fan MailSteve Powell is the founder of IndeeLift, the leading manufacturer of human floor lifts that are designed to safely and comfortably lift seniors or others with mobility issues off the floor after falling.Like millions of Americans, Steve was a caregiver for his aging parents as their health deteriorated. Both of Steve’s parents were determined to age at home, but they each struggled with routine falls, which would leave them stuck on the floor for hours with no way to get back up. Eager to help, Steve invented a device called IndeeLift, a “people picker upper” that safely and quickly lifts a person back to their feet after they’ve fallen, allowing them to quickly resume their day with dignity and independence. Today, IndeeLift is helping thousands of people across the globe to turn most falls into a non-event. IndeeLift is a life-changing tool for seniors, as well as those with neuromuscular diseases such Multiple Sclerosis, Myositis, Parkinson's Disease, etc. IndeeLift’s floor lifts are specifically designed to be used individually at home, or with the help of professional healthcare caregivers. IndeeLift’s design removes the need for manual lifting, drastically cutting down on injuries among caregivers and EMS.Topics:- Personal Caregiver Journey- About Fall Recovery- The Invention of IndeeLift- Cultural ConsiderationsTo learn more, visit indeelift.com. Support the show
