Power Stair Chair Capability

If your transfer needs include having to navigate any number of stairs, we make transferring safely, over such obstacles, a Priority.   At Priority, we deploy sophisticated mechanical stair chairs as part of our standard equipment.  This equipment allows our qualified attendants to transfer a client safely and smoothly, in a sitting position, up and down any number of stairs.  We want you to have the peace of mind that, regardless of the obstacles or challenges of getting you safely in and out of your home, we are here to make your transfer a Priority.

Power Cots and Bariatric Capability

If you are looking for a smooth and comfortable transfer or you have the need for a bariatric transfer (a transfer involving a client that weighs over 250lbs), you have come to the right place. In 2018, Priority invested in new, state-of-the-art, Power Cots that feature a powerful hydraulic system designed to raise and lower the stretcher, at the touch of a button. The addition of these Power cots to our fleet, in conjunction with the new Power-Lift loading platform will provide a safer, more comfortable patient experience and will significantly reduce strain and lifting requirements for our employees. In addition, this system greatly enhances our Bariatric transfer capability, giving our Company the ability to safely load patients up to 750lbs with minimal requirements for manual lifting.

Real Stories From Our Clients

“I am writing this note to express my full appreciation and satisfaction with the services provided by your company this past Monday. My mother was transferred from the Civic hospital to a retirement residence via your non-urgent stretcher service, after having undergone a very significant stroke in mid-July. I would like to comment on the service provided by the two gentlemen who carried out the transfer. Both employees showed complete professionalism throughout the experience. Not only were they punctual, but they were very professional and caring throughout the transfer. They introduced themselves to both my mother and I, shook our hands. They had a positive attitude and explained what was going to be done during the transfer. They were very gentle, safely carried my mother’s belongings, and transported us safely and efficiently to the residence. Mom felt very comfortable in their company and did not feel jostled about at all during the transfer. Despite her failing condition, she referred to the employees as “very nice young men” and really appreciated their service. Our family deeply appreciates the service of PPTS and the kindness of both gentlemen.”

“I want to first thank you for making it so easy for me to get my husband moved to the Civic Hospital so that he could undergo a CT Scan. Our life right now is quite stressful, and any relief is very much appreciated. Also, I wanted to pass on the fact that the young man who manned the Patient Transfer vehicle was wonderful. He was so very patient and caring. He made sure that my husband got to where he had to be inside the hospital and came back to do the return trip. Thankfully we were early so there was literally no waiting and we were back home before the actual time of the appointment. We had a lovely chat on the trip which showed only that this guy had his head on straight. I want to thank him sincerely and wish him only the very best in his future endeavors. Thanks again for everything. I can definitely tell you I will be recommending PPTS.”
