Low to High Transfer Question

Posted 10 months ago Hi! I have my first assignment as a Home Health Aide. Boy, is real life different than classroom training! To get my client to bed, I need to transfer him from a low scooter to a high bed. Neither can change to be higher or lower. I am having such a hard time getting him up into the bed. Usually the transfer involves a lot of repositioning to get him where he needs to be on his half of a double bed. He is very limited in his ability to help, especially being so tired at the end of the day. Any advice? BTW, there is no gait belt or other transfer aid. |

| Posted 10 months ago Hiya, the 1st thing I would like to say to you is "you are playing with fire"..I don't know how old you are, but there are many places you can hurt on your body including your back. Take it from me, once a bad back, there goes your career.. Needless to say, what will happen f you drop him. They do have transfer boards, but as a nurse for 36 years, I wouldn't do it on a bet... Best of luck to you..Please keep us posted..Sorry |
