I know this is old, but as I am taking care of a cancer patient that is starting the end stages, he is just starting to use a wheelchair. I sit here in tears trying to learn to safely help him with what I know will be coming soon. I wanted to say thank you, and bless you for helping so many.
I have worked with a cancer patient and safety and comfort are the most important to them during those last stages
All of these is very interesting and useful
Future Caregiver here :), Thank you for this great video !!
Thank you for these videos. They are very educational and I needed the guidance. 🙏🏽
This is a very short but comprehensive video that covers most transfers with good visuals so viewers can actually see different movements. I usually encourage caregivers to "practice" their techniques on able bodied persons who are role-playing the disabled or infirm. It helps the caregivers and doesn't feel like "on the job training"
You should try the Roturner - it's a pivot transfer device that totally mitigates caregiver intervention so the patient doesn't have to rely on you to stabilize them. You can see it on the TH-cam Channel Jaide Products - th-cam.com/channels/ll0zGjsgfTY6mcUsokDFPg.html
Thank you 🎉
Always make sure your're love one is safe always follow the rules when you're working
Thank you for this video!! My father in law is ill and i needed to educate my self on how to properly help him get around.
Thanks for this video it sure do help me .god bless 🙏
Thanks for sharing!!
Its really very useful thanks a lot.
Thank You
Sapphirexwind: Consider asking the doctor to authorize a visit by a physical therapist for "Transfer Skills Training." These videos provide some general guidelines but every individual is different, and it can be especially difficult when someone is no longer able to walk at all. There are some assistive devices like hoyer lifts and transfer boards that may be helpful, but a physical therapist can assess whether they would be appropriate to use with the person you're caring for. The physical therapist can also make sure you stay safe while helping the person transfer. (Sorry for delayed response, and your patience. We've been working on staff resources for responding to social media!)
Thank you for sharing is really usefull

Thank you
Thanks for your post🙏🙏🙏
I love tis video thku very much may god bless u.im from sri lankan.stay sp.
I love these video series! They are done in such a gentle, loving way. Great information. These videos bring back such challenging memories. Caregiving was so difficult for me when I cared for Rose. It was my love for her that assigned me to the role of caregiver- an untrained one! Rose developed dementia, and she became very mean. These videos are so important for caregivers! Thank you!
The Inspired Caregiver Book this is very helpful thank you
The Inspired Caregiver Book .
Yes dementia is a horrible horrible desease and i hate how ot changes people you care about sometimes I take it personal and have to remind me it the stupid desease acting out
Great
Thank You for your teaching I'm working as Caregiver its helpfull to me.
Thank you so much. I am a student who is still learning to become a caregiver
The message of this video to prioritize caregiver safety is spot on. The techniques demonstrated are outdated and are no longer considered safe practices. Modern technology and techniques exist to physically assist dependent elders with safety, dignity, and comfort. The 2019 message of the video should be: if any situations arise where a caregiver MUST perform the unsafe techniques demonstrated, a PT or OT should first be consulted to determine the safest solution(s) and guide acquisition of critical tools and skills.
Can you suggest more up to date videos?
Very educational
Thankyou so much I like this jop but I don't have this course , I wish that's Caroline 😍😍
The vedio helpfull. Thaks
Most of these techniques are controversial in the UK; especially the pivot transfer where the client has their arms around the care givers neck, lifting someone using the underarm lift is also quite dangerous; there is bending and twisting from the caregiver where there is a huge risk of muscular-skeletal injuries.

Thanks for your comment. This video was created with an experienced Gerontologist specializing in dementia care and caregiving issues. The techniques in the Transfer Skills segment are widely used and have been reported to be helpful by caregivers. The "pivot transfer" technique specifically instructs the viewer to "avoid having his or her arms around your neck, you could fall that way." Also the video does not instruct the viewer to lift someone using their underarms. I believe you are referring to the part where Conni is gently lowering Jimmy into his wheelchair. At this point Jimmy is balanced with his hands on the arms rests and Conni has her hands on Jimmy's underarms to provide additional support. As this is happening, the narration is, "As you pivot, remember to keep the proper stance - back straight, knees slightly bent and weight balance evenly - now pivot and don't twist your body toward the destination." We are very aware of the importance of teaching caregivers correct transfer skills to avoid injury to themselves and the person for whom they are caring. - Michelle Venegas, L.C.S.W., FCA Director of Programs and Services
Moule's Movies.. I am with you! Even in these demo videos with a cooperative demo client, the caregiver's body mechanics are terrible.. might work for a while but unsustainable in the long run.. Once their legs (client) can not suppprt their weight things get dicey.. I don't care how many degrees you've got.. Btw most caregivers (people in general) are not all that fit to begin.. Proceed with caution.. it is your back..
That's more than she can handle He needs nursing home care
I am doing same before your video Thanks doing good job
Good info
💕Thank you
Beautiful!! Thanks so much. My mom is under hospice care at home. This video is invaluable!!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
how did she get him from laying to sitting position?? it's a jump cut.
Hay quá
In the beginning of the video during the transfer from the bed to the wheelchair, the wheel chair should be closer to the person and turned diagonal toward the bed for a shorter distance between the bed and the chair. If the person is able to assist you , the wheelchair can be placed on the person's strong side so they can hold on to the armrest and help pivot themself with your assistance towards the chair . Just make sure the wheelchair brakes are good so the chair doesn't move. I've done this for over 20 years as a PTA. And it saves your back.

My client has ALS and has lost all function of her limbs and speech. I really struggle with transferring because at this point she is pretty much dead weight. The other aides have their own way of transferring but they haven't been working for me... I am much taller than them though. Hopefully I'll be able to find an easier way soon.
Jordan Skye Maybe a hoyer lift could help?
What if a patient cannot walk?
At 1:50 she is holding the patient with her arms outstretched. She should be closer to the patient to save her back. I always push the foot rests to the side of the chair to get my body closer to the patient (load) to save my back. Try holding even 10 lbs of potatoes with arms outstretched - not good for the back. Also check the patients feet and put the foot closest to wheelchair forward of the other foot & slightly separated so they dont get tangled.
Good 👍😊❣️
Patient is unable to walk or stand how to lift when fallen down ??
We have five problems with my 85 year old Father. He has NO mobility in his legs at all, he is on a blood thinner that causes him to bleed if he is touched, he is extremely heavy, he has cancer in his spine, which has spread from his prostate, so his back hurts, and he is blind. He has a hospital bed, a commode and a wheelchair, but it is almost impossible to move him anywhere. He can' t even turn over in bed without help.
Please can you make a transfer from bed to wheelchair video where the patient is heavy and cannot walk
Same here thank you :-)
But what about if the person can't stand at all like someone disabled?
sapphirexwind you’ll need a lift
Yes what she said a lift with 2 ppl transfer
What if the love one is heavy and cannot stand anymore....how i want to transfer him to wheelchair?
Yes..same question..
I did this type of job when I was young . Taking care of patients.i don't know what my old age will b like who will take care of me in my old age.its scary
How many years ago was this this moving and handling techniques are illegal in the UK
Hi I'm ok thanks how are you
Mine doesn't stand nor walk
❤❤❤
Too much body contact.. There is other skill u can do.. To avoid to much body contact.. If the elderly cant go to wheelchair u can ask them to hold on wheelchair if they still can using their legs..So u just need to assit them to turn their body around without hugging them... Its the most safe skill to avoid your getting backpain or fall down.. Especially if u have to handle many elderly..
IM HERE FOR MODULE
👍🏻
That looks difficult
It's never this easy in real life practice. Some people are too obese and carry a lot of dead weight and difficult to maneuver with assistance.
