A lift assist apparatus for moving an individual from a seated to a standing position comprises two vertical supports wherein each vertical support comprises a vertical slot. A top rod is attached to the upper portion of each vertical support and a bottom rod is attached to the lower portion of each vertical support. A horizontal arm is movably connected to each vertical support. Motor driven belts located within the vertical slots of the vertical supports cause the horizontal arms to simultaneously move up and down along the vertical supports. Alternatively, a piston located in each vertical slot is used to move the horizontal arms along the vertical supports. The horizontal arms provide support for an individual moving to as seated or standing position. The lift assist apparatus may also be comprised of a single vertical support. The lift assist apparatus is typically mounted to a wall.
