1. Who are the caregivers during convalescence?

A caregiver can be:

• a spouse
• a family member
• a relative
• sometimes a friend

Often, this role comes without preparation, adding to an already busy daily life.

2. Why can everyday help become exhausting?

During recovery, the caregiver often has to:

• help sit up
• support during position changes
• bring meals
• stay attentive to needs

These actions, repeated several times a day, can become tiring.

3. Why does bed posture directly influence the caregiver’s role?

When the recovering person is poorly positioned:

• they require more help to sit up
• movements are harder to assist with
• the caregiver must exert more physical effort

An adapted posture reduces dependency and demands.

4. How does a slightly elevated position relieve the caregiver?

A semi-sitting posture allows the person to:

• sit up more easily
• remain seated without constant support
• participate more in their movements

The caregiver no longer has to carry or compensate as much.

5. Why is stability important for both parties?

A stable position:

• secures movements
• reduces sudden actions
• limits the risk of false moves
• reassures both the caregiver and the person being cared for

Stability creates a calmer environment.

6. How to improve the caregiver-caree relationship through autonomy?

When the person regains some autonomy:

• interactions become less focused on help
• communication is more peaceful
• mental load decreases

Facilitating autonomy improves daily life for both sides.

7. How does CosyLift concretely help caregivers?

CosyLift allows for a slight, stable elevation of the mattress, which:

• reduces the effort needed to help sit up
• facilitates transfers and position changes
• enables the person being cared for to do more on their own
• decreases physical fatigue for the caregiver
• makes support more seamless

It’s an indirect but valuable aid for loved ones.
