Tools or devices to abet move an overweight cancer merciful?

Recently my grandmother has be diagnosed with type 2 cancer surrounded by her liver, brain, and lungs. She's just be sent home from the hospital, and my mother and I are able to tend to most of her wishes, but we are not able to pull her. We would much rather preserve her in her home environment to save her comfortable, but are afraid if we cannot provide proper mobility, we might have to turn to a nursing home.

I'm essentially asking if here any devices or "lifts", etc, exist that would help two competent bodied adults lift a 220-260 Lb individual.

I was also told that a hospital bed would be a angelic start, is there a reliable baptize in southeast michigan that anyone would reccomend dealing next to for new/used equipment?

Any and all oblige is appreciated. We're also looking for a mobility van rental or service in the warren/madison height Michigan area, and established to ask here since most of the locations in the phone book/yellow page are out of business.

Thanks a lot for any and adjectives help.
