ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for lifting a bedridden person using a lift strap device.

The mechanism for securing the person to the main support member includes a first strap member secured to one end of the main support member and a loop member fixed to an opposite end of the main support member. The main support member is secured to at least one leg of the person while the person is lying down on his/her back and is utilized to raise only the lower portion of the person from a support surface while permitting contact of the upper portion of the person with the support surface thereby permitting a care-giver to clean or change the person.
