The invention relates to a device for handling a patient, such as raising a patient from a sitting position to a standing position or vice versa, and/or moving the person from one location to another, said device comprising top mounting means (51, 52) far suspending the device from suspension means (5), and frame means (1, 2, 3) for supporting the patient, the frame means comprising a supporting lower frame portion (2) comprising a feet support assembly (6) and a knee support (7), an upper frame portion (1) comprising the mounting means (51, 52) and means (12) for attaching a sling (9), and an intermediate frame linkage portion (3) connecting the upper and lower frame portions (1, 2) in such a way that the upper frame portion (1) is vertically moveable in relation to the lower frame portion (2). By the invention, a simple, robust and reliable device for use in a hoist is provided which is designed to be operated by suspension means at the top or provided with an actuator so that the device constitutes the hoist. The operation principle is that a patient is placed in the device and then raised to standing position or vice versa by lifting - respectively lowering - of the entire hoist device whereby the relative position of the upper and lower frame portions is altered due to the intermediate frame linkage portion. A device according to the invention may be used together with virtually all types of lifting mechanisms as it is attachable to a lift structure at the top mounting means of the device.
