VA · State Veteran Homes · Veteran Service Orgs
VA Community Living Centers, State Veteran Homes, Wounded Warrior Project partner programs, and Semper Fi Fund adaptive-rec all serve a mixed population — aging Vietnam-era veterans alongside post-9/11 amputees and combat-injured. The EZ Lift Vest was designed for both. 11 grip points. 300 lb capacity. Fits over prosthetics. Manufactured in St. Petersburg, FL — Buy-American compliant, procurable through the channels VA and State Veteran Homes already use.
Manufactured in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Meets Buy-American Act preferences for VA facilities, State Veteran Homes, and federally-connected veteran service organizations. Documentable through standard procurement channels.
Post-9/11 amputee population fit.
The vest wraps the upper torso and does not interfere with lower-extremity prosthetics. Grip points give aides a controlled transfer regardless of the veteran's prosthetic configuration.
Vietnam-era + post-9/11 in the same facility.
The 300 lb capacity and multi-size fit cover both the aging cohort (increasing frailty) and post-9/11 physically-disabled cohort (residual strength). One tool for the whole floor.
VA speaks nurse.
Designed by two RNs with 35+ years of nursing experience. The clinical framing lands with VA nursing leadership and with the RN-directed transfer protocols that define VA CLC operations.
Wounded Warrior, Semper Fi Fund, adaptive rec.
Works for the high-transfer moments in adaptive sports and community-based veteran programs. Wet-condition safe. Fits over adaptive gear.
The largest cost line in facility operations.
Back injury is the top CNA exit reason in every long-term care setting including VA CLCs and State Veteran Homes. The vest changes the biomechanics of the highest-risk transfers.
