Someone I know works at a Nursing Home. She was explaining that they
have a very overweight resident who has trouble getting on and off the
toilet, so they have to use the Hydraulic Toilet Hoist to place and
remove this person from the toilet. At first I thought she was joking,
but she said it's not a joke, they have and use devices like this.

I'm was trying to picture this hoist, when I entered "Hydraulic Toilet
Hoist" into google.

I found this.....

It's not just fat people. There are people so old or so ill, they
cannot lift or pull themselves up from a seated position. Assists like
this make it easier on the patient and caretaker. As long as they can
still somehow use the toilet, they don't have to use diapers or bedpans.

They make assisted lift chairs, too. A coworker put a pair in her
elderly parents' livingroom, before they eventually became so feeble
they had to go to a nursing home.
