Its easier and safer for the caregivers in the assisted living facilities than trying to grab them, especially if the person is heavy.
This poster is not joking.
It's really true.
My own comment is that there is nothing about these belts that is flattering to MO.
Nothing.
my wife’s a nurse amd she got one of those belts for her to pick up my MIL
MO is really big hipped and tall, close to 200 lbs and if she falls helping to carry around her & BO’s ego she would be difficult to pick up.
The Secret Service may have requested she wear the belt in case they needed to carry out of an attack.
