I am not a nurse, but because of you video I was able to move my husband up in his bed. His health is going down, but after watching you videos I am able to do things better now and I do not hurt him or myself. Thank you so much.
Wonderful! This is just why we made the videos. Please support us by going to our website www.thecareplan.net to buy our five dollar booklet which will help you manage any of the symptoms that may arise in his condition. How lucky he is to have such a loving and skillful spouse. Best wishes.
Ladies, I searched the internet tonight because I was having great difficulty helping my mother in bed. This is a game changer! It works! Thank you so much!
So glad it helped you! We do it all the time for our hospice patients. Head over to our website: Odonatacare.com for much more and blessings on caring for your mom.
Thanks again for all your help! Mom passed away this past Friday. She is with the Lord and no longer suffering. Thank you for all you do! Taking care of someone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is a hard job. But we are thankful we had 77 days with her at home.
I’m a caregiver and I love my job, and I’ve been struggling with lifting my patient and maneuvering him. This has made it much more easier thank you so much!😊
Thanks so much - we love what we do...now Please visit our website www.thecareplan.net to buy our five dollar booklet which will review all of the major symptoms that may need managing when someone is in bed. Best wishes and thank you. Care is Treatment!
I've had the same problem and I am so thankful for this material. And so are my clients! ☺️
Great video for one-person repositioning Nancy! One additional thing I like to teach people is to give yourself a very wide base (legs 2-3 ft apart) before pulling your loved one up in bed and use leg muscles to do the work - bend from the hips rather than leaning over with your back. I almost "squat low" to pull someone up.
You’re so right and I think that’s exactly what we do, but didn’t really get into that kind of a detail. Actually, I don’t post on my legs I use leverage by leaning back with my body weight. Glad we all find ways that work for us and are safe to our body and for patience. Thanks for watching our video and please go to our website www.thecareplan.net and by our booklet that reviews all of the symptoms that may occur when a patient is bedbound. Best wishes.
There are on the market people moving and handling equipment called slide sheets that are ideal for that job the slippery slides are put under the client, it makes that manoeuvre very effortless, and does not shear the vulnerable areas of the skin. My worry would be for the caregivers’s back as there is a lot of forces going through there when pulling a whole persons body weight.
I agree! Those sheets are so helpful for the obese patient's with the handles on the side etc. I always encourage their purchase for families or caregiving settings to save the caregivers backs. Thanks for your comment. Please check out our website: OdonataCare.com for more info.
I work in age care Australia and slide sheets and walking belts are must have!
Always use minimal effort and slow build up.
Yes bad body mechanics, especially since the care vs patient ratio is 20 patients to one. Most patients had extra helpings of food then became I'll. My back can't take it.
@@marlahernandez-gomez8644 yes, this technique involves poor body mechanics which is why it’s recommended only for families caring for a loved one at home alone. When in a facility you’ll definitely want to go around as a team doing all of the turns and scoots together, to save your backs!🎃
@@roarlikealion8298 even as a one person care giver there are ways to make this easier…position the bed so you dont have to move it everytime and set the bed high enough so you can support your upper body with the headboard, allowing you to only use your arms…and dint lift up…just pull back…and use a slide pad with loops to pull with
I’m a nursing assistant and I’ve used this because I can’t always get help when I need it. It’s so easy to do when you don’t have help.
What a fabulous comment!!! Thank you very much for letting us know. Perhaps you might let your boss know about the availability so all of the other nursing assistance can use it when needed. We’d appreciate you saying a thank you bye going to our website www.thecareplan.net to buy our five dollar booklet which reviews all of the major symptoms you might run across and what you can do to help your patient be more comfortable and calm. You will go to the head of the class! Care is treatment. Thanks for being on the caregiving team.
I have this problem every night with my mother. Its just me helping her, so this is life changing. Thank you
You're a loving daughter Joy. Please visit our website:

@@TheHospiceCarePlan Thank you .I will ❤
Good wishes i send you.look after yourself also .
I also like that you guys practiced as one person cause in my job it’s just one person who is expected to lift him.
We've got lots more videos coming - keep watching and thanks so much. We LOVE great caregivers. Cheers.
Thank you for this ladies❤❤ Youve given me an alternate way of assisting residents on my own! Just passed my CA state board exam as a CNA this week!! Im ready world!!
Congratulations! We sure need passionate caregivers like you! Check out our website: the careplan.com for lots more information and support. Good luck in your caregiving and take care of yourself.
Ladies, thank you for your video. That's great, what you all are doing. I've been taking care of my disabled son who can't help me at all, for 29 years, since he was 16. There is a sliding pad you can purchase for about$20, $30 that by using the same procedure you can use, that make the gravity pull much nicer. I'm waiting for them to make some kind of self-propelled pad to do the moving forward for me. Even using the slide sheet for so long, I'm beginning to have trouble in my arms, neck and hips. So hopefully something is being developed for us caregivers that's self-propelled. Next time you all do this video you may want to introduce this procedure using the slide sheet. You can pick up one from Amazon. Thanks

There is a slide sheet with handles for this job. Makes it much nicer. Also, I'm waiting for them to make something that can help you by lightly propelling the patient. I've done this a long time. After awhile, you will feel this in your body.
Yes, you must’ve missed our other video about moving a heavy patient with one of the slippery slide sheets that are available. Thanks for all your good caregiving. Care is treatment.

So glad it helped. I do this all the time and it feels wonderful to bring someone up so that they are in a good position when you raise the head of the bed. Drives me crazy when I enter a room and see somebody all scrunched down.

I’m at HHA the best thing for me when I go in a client house, and they are bedbound and I have the Ospital bed that make my life more easier I have done the same thing that she showed on the video
He’s probably got lots of tips as a caregiver. Consider going to our website and buying our hospice booklet which reviews all of the major symptoms that come up when someone is bedbound. Best wishes in your caregiving and thanks.
I find it much easier to place the bed in one end if the room at a slight angle/kitty corner, so that i dont always have to move the bed. I can easily get behind the side that is angled out from the wall…and i also remove the pillow. while moving my parent so its out of the way and im not trying to lift them up over it, then place it back when finished, raise the whole bed to a good height to support my upper body with the headboard, as i pull my parent up in the bed…if you do it right, you are only using your arm muscles and not putting strain on your back…have to take care of yourself, if you want to be able to take care of a lived one long tern
Absolutely if you are working in a room that you have the ability to move furniture and keep it that way. When you’re working in a facility many times entering a room, you have to address the change right at the time you’re doing the care. Please consider supporting us by buying our five dollar booklet at our website www.thecareplan.net which will support you in managing all the symptoms that arise with people in bed. Best wishes in your continuing caregiving. Care is treatment!
Use a slide board or slick surface. In a pinch a thick outdoor garbage bag between the sheet and draw sheet will slide much easier.
Both good ideas. Most families do not have sliding boards available in this their paraplegic. The slick surface is really necessary with obese patients but generally flat folded clean she will do the trick on a normal weight in person. Thanks for your comments. Head over to www.thecareplan.net for more information and support. Thanks for your good caregiving.
This method i used frequently
So glad you know the trick! Surprising how few caregivers are given the info... Thanks for watching. Brenda and I have over 50 years of actual bedside hospice care and are still working full time!

Can you please tell us how your feet were positioned during the lift? What was the stance? Knees bent and one foot in front of the other or was it both knees bent in a squat and arms at a 90 degree angle close to vody)?
I find it works best to slightly bend your knees and have both thighs directly touching the head of the bed. Paul with leverage not your back. Thank you for your comment and don’t forget to visit our website, thecareplan.net For much more info. And thanks for your comment good luck in your own caregiving.
Very good video.
Thank you so much. I did this about three times yesterday and I wish all caregivers knew how to do it. I hate to enter a room and see someone crunched down at the foot of the bed all disheveled. Good luck in your caregiving and please visit our website www.thecareplan.net.
You have a video showing how to change the gown, diapers, bed lines for spine cord injury patients? Share the link
I used to work spinal cord and it really depends on the injury - if the spine has been stabilized - if it is an acute or chronic injury. A video about that is a great idea - thanks. Use your intuition and make sure those spinal cord injury patients are turned EVERY 2 HOURS!!! We used to set an alarm and go in pairs to turn and position everyone.
We are so glad it was helpful. Please visit our website www.thecareplan.net to buy our five dollar booklet which will review all of the major symptoms that may need managing when someone is in bed. Care is treatment! Best wishes and thank you.
Amazing video, thank you. Please could you show us technique of changing leg dressings (toe to knee bandage) of an immobile patient in bed? No one has covered this, especially for patients with paraplegia or MS etc.
Reason I ask is because some care homes expect nurses to do this with no assistant to help lift the leg, it3a real back breaker doing it alone.
Sure would help if you had an extra care giver to support the leg from heel to thigh above the knee. If you don't have help, get several hard pillows or wedges and support the leg as above from the foot to the upper thigh so you have room to wrap the dressing under the leg. You can also turn the patient far to the side and support the leg at the knee an the ankle. Please visit our website: TheCarePlan.com for lots more information and thanks for your caregiving!
@@TheHospiceCarePlan thank you
Also, Using slide sheets will save your back and they are cheap to buy.
If you see all of our videos we do talk about these. Please thank us by going to our website:TheCarePlan.net to buy our $5 booklet which will review hopw you - as the caregiver at the bedside can manage all of the major symptoms. thanks

If I use a garbage bag between the draw/under pad, will it cause sweating, or do I need to remove it each time?
No it won't cause too much perspiration if you have a pad on top of it and it makes it much easier to slide a patient - we do this for all heavy people. You can order slide sheets with handles and that really makes it easy. Thanks for watching! Brenda and I have over 50 years of actual bedside hospice care and are still working full time!

How do you do this when they are in a regular bed without wheels to move the bed?
Get someone to help you move it away from the wall about a foot and a half and leave it there.Thank You ,And don’t forget to visit our website the care plan.net for much more information. Good luck in your caregiving.

@@TheHospiceCarePlan on the caregivers at my job need this type of training. I learned all this at nursing school
Can I do it alone with a fracture t12 patient?
Yes if you put a pillow between the knees to protect the pelvis from shifting and go very slowly. If you have a large garbage bag underneath the draw/turn sheet, the move will go smoother.

How do you do it without an electric bed?
Exactly the same way. Move the head of the bed away from the wall so you can get to the head of the bed. Reach down and pull up that turnsheet. You don’t quite have the help of gravity but it works just fine. Thanks for your question don’t forget to watch other videos. And visit our website www.thecareplan.net and buy our seven dollar booklet which reviews symptom management for everything that comes up with a bedbound patient. Care is treatment! Thanks so much for your help.
My patient moves so much that the chuck and pull sheet get rumpled up and turned sideways and she even ends up completely off them. After a couple of hours, she's gotten herself back toward the foot of the bed, is off the end of the chuck and I'm no longer able to use the draw sheet. Do you have any wisdom for how to manage this?
It sounds like this client really needs some symptom management for agitation / anxiety. Ask your professional to suggest medication - if dementia it might be depakote, haloperidol, or lorazepam. Make sure if it's an electric bed to elevate the knee gatch so she can't slide down so much.
check out our site for more info: OdonataCare.com Thanks
@@TheHospiceCarePlan I’m not sure what equipment you mean? but if it’s what we call slide sheets here, they should be removed after repositioning in the bed then re-insert when needed.
@@TheHospiceCarePlan, anti-psychotics have a black box label for a reason - they should be a last resort for people with dementia. There are other behavioral interventions or, if needed, medication that do not have the same proven link to death in patients with Alzheimer's that anti-psychotics of both generations do.
@@TheHospiceCarePlan just because said person ends up off the sheet, does not mean they need medicating!

Hope that means that you have enjoyed the video and perhaps learned some thing from it. Best wishes in your caregiving and thank you.
How do you keep the pull sheet/slip sheet from moving up also? After pulling my LO back up about 4-5 times the sheet ends up being so far up that his bottom is no longer on it and all o am pulling is the sheet out from under him.
Yes, that's what happens all the time and you just have to do the roll from side to side to roll that one out and place a new one lower down. Bummer but that's the drill. Thanks
@@TheHospiceCarePlan thank you for the reply and the video's. I have watched other videos and learned a lot or got confirmation I was doing it correctly. Very helpful.
Try putting something between the underpad/pull sheet and the bed sheet, and pull that instead. Hth
What if they have acid reflex and the head needs to be elevated
If they're acid reflux is bad enough that they can't tolerate being flat for the short time it takes for bed care, they probably need medication - omeprazole or famotadine - ck with the PCP, Thanks for the comment, please see our website: OdonataCare.com for more info.
Great demonstration. But, if the client has bed sore on both lower heels. Wouldn’t that agitate the sores being the heels are making friction as we pull him up.
Pull the patient up with the pillow still under the heels to keep them floated during the process or get help so someone can lift the legs while you're pulling him up.
Thanks for your questions and don't forget to go to our
website OdonataCare.com for much more info. Best!
@@TheHospiceCarePlan or just put a slide sheet under the whole body and avoid lifting and stooping.. In the UK we use slide sheets for everyone who cannot move themselves after an assessment. It prevents injury to both caregivers and patients.
I would think anything under heels (whether it be pillow or other) would still present some shearing. With legs being a lot easier to lift, perhaps putting a double layer of slide sheet under legs through to heels is possible and would solve the issue.
I got it

That’s fine for a light-weight patient but a heavier one it’s best to do together from the sides and bend your knees keeping your back straight.
Please watch our other video about moving a heavy patient. It’s great when you have two people but believe me, there are many many times when only yourself is there. Use a trash bag under the patient and the slide will be easy even if they’re heavy. Better Would be to buy one of the handled sliding sheets. So watch more videos because we have all of that … thanks for your comment and don’t forget to follow us and go to our website the Care plan.net to pick up our booklet that reviews all of the major symptoms that may arise when a patient is in bed.

damn it would be so much easier if my grandma didn't have a sensitive back and butt and head and other complications to her already complicated situation. kudos to caregivers
Consider an air mattress overlay for her comfort and to protect her skin. Also you might suggest acetaminophen 500mg 3xs / day for general comfort. Thanks - check out our website: OdonataCare.com
@@TheHospiceCarePlan she's a 70 y/o lung cancer patient with the metastasized back bone c4 or something, she's had chemo but chose to stop with treatment. she's using high dose pain meds tho, it was acetaminophen before but she's taking oxycodone now. palliative care they say but we can only do so much
WhT if I don't have a bed like that..and cant.move the bed ,with him in it.
Get help to pull the bed away from the wall so you can get to the head of the bed. Watch the video about use of a turn or slide sheet. Even a non-electric bed will allow you to move a patient if you can get to the
head and use a sheet. Thanks for watching. Brenda and I have over 50 years of actual bedside hospice care and are still working full time!

How do you do that with a client who is over 200 pounds with one person?
Good question and I think we will do a video on this. Either purchased one of these slippery turn sheets that have a handles or just get a very large plastic bag kind of like the one you would use for leaf management in the yard. Turn the patient onto it just as you would as a turnsheet, and it will slip and slide. Much easier over the sheet. And then use your own body weight as a lever when you’re ready to do the pull. Do it in small increments if needed. Please go to our website www.thecareplant.net and buy her five dollar booklet that reviews how to manage most of the symptoms that come up on a patient is in bed. Care is treatment! Thanks.
@@TheHospiceCarePlan thank you very much! And will be waiting on your video.
But what about when you can't go In front of the bed?
Get help to move the bed out away from the wall so you can get in between the wall and the head of the bed. Then you will be set for the rest of the caregiving needed. Otherwise you might need to get help anytime you pull the patient up or do it as best as you can from the top of the bed but next to their head. Please visit our website www.thecareplan.net for our booklet and all the symptoms that you will need to manage as well. Thanks for your comments and best wishes in your caregiving.
I’m a retired Thai nurse. After watching your vdo, it’s helpful for some patients. But be careful on a patient with poor skin integrity because shear forces during pulling may cause some harm on the patient’s skin, the pressure ulcer.
Of course - must individualize the care for sure! Thanks for your comment. Thanks for all your care! I've been an RN since 1976 and still enjoying work at the bedside. Thanks for watching.

Causes friction micro tares.
Not if you’re using an appropriate draw or turn sheet there is no friction between the patient and that she just the sheet in the turn sheet. Better check out our website www.thecareplan.net or lots more information and also symptom management. Thanks for watching our videos. Best wishes.
I still don’t think I can hoist my client. He’s taller and heavier😢
Did you watch the video about moving a heavy patient? Get a large garbage bag and watch the video. And then if you still can’t do it get help! Don’t risk your own health and body visit. Our website www.thecareplan.net and get our booklet for all of the symptom management needs. Thanks for your comment and good luck.
now let ladie #1 show how she TALKS to and works with patient. Wow
Not sure what you mean. But of course we always are talking to our patients and letting them know what we’re doing. We’re not explaining an actual process. Thanks for your comment and best wishes in your caregiving! Hair is treatment. Please go to our website www.thecareplan.net and buy our seven dollar booklet to review all of the symptoms that arise when a patient is bedbound. Thank you.
Our WH&S would not allow that, very risky for your back... a slide sheet should be used...
Too bad as when you're alone and no slide sheet is in the home - you're stuck! And the patient needs care. I agree a slide sheet is very helpful! Hope you can find a second person to help with the move. Best wishes in your very important caregiving. Don't forget to go to our website: TheCarePlan.net for so much more info.
Shes using bad lifting techniques too, her knees aren't bent and its more like a jerking movement
didn't show anything
So glad you are so skilled that you don't need any help or reminders. Please go to our website: TheCarePlan.net and pick up our booklet that will support you in all the symptom management that may/will come up for the patient in bed. Care is Treatment! Best wishes!
Moving a person requires leg strength.....you knee on mattress from vbehind the bed works best
Glad it works for you, but putting your own body on a bed is not hygienic
@TheCarePlan first of all your knee is to support your back.......hygiene has nothing to do with it. I've been an aide for 29 years......and hospice was my choice. I know what I'm talking about
@TheCarePlan and your rolling technique is inaccurate. You roll patients toward you. For safety when there's no guard rail.........safety is what's most important.......remember that. Doing what you did that patient can fall out of bed. .......
I he job aap ke pass
So glad you found it to be helpful! I still do that maneuver almost every day in my caregiving as a hospice nurse. Cheers and thanks.
Non no if possible lay both of his hands across his chest it lessons some of the weight on u before u pull him up..
Good idea! Thanks for your reply and feedback - your're right! .Best wishes in your caregiving.
I would not want you helping me or my family!!!
Thanks for your viewing. Hope you find an educational video you enjoy better. Best wishes
Don't worry Tulip, they probably wouldn't want to help you anyway so that sorts your imaginary problem out.
Very thankful for the girls teaching us caregivers the proper way of doing things, thank you
U are not communicate with client
You are right that it is MANDATORY! If you watch more videos you will see us do this regularly - just forgot during the filming. You must be a good caregiver... Thanks for watching.

Have no idea - it was in our home town in Oregon...although I do love Mexico!

If you are a caregiver - you are the most important member of the care circle! Now you need to go to the website www.thecareplan.net and pick up our five dollar booklet which will review how to manage any major symptom that arises for her care. Care is treatment exclamation! Best Wishes and Happy New Year, Nancy
This is very bad for your back , do not do this! Leaning, bending or stretching while pulling is a sure way to put your back out.
Thank you Ruth, of course we understand that but to film a video one has to move out of the way and in a way that is not normal. So appreciate your professional note… Clearly you know what you’re talking about. Please visit our website www.thecareplan.net for lots more support and information. You might consider buying our booklet that is at the bedside of many many patients. Thanks and have a great evening and thanks for your caregiving.
Why you don’t show an actual patient who needs to be repositioned, cleaned, and is in hospital? I have been watching the nurses having a hard time doing that job on my spouse.
Unfortunately as you can imagine this is against HIPAA laws to show any real client. Please go to our website the careplan.com for so much more information and good luck in your caregiving.
If the skin of the patient is sensitive or susceptible to bed sores, your method would have completely compromised the patient.
Actually I’m afraid you’re mistaken because we’re not moving the patient on the surface of the bed the term sheet is what is taking the friction between the term sheet and the bed underneath the person. If you got a better idea love to hear it we’re always open for new information. Please visit our website the care plan.net and thanks for your caregiving.
You teach, with no concern about talking and reassuring patient!!!! Is everyone dead, there's more to this then just teaching!!!!! Talk to the patient!!!
We are teaching the caregivers who are going to technically need our advice. When we were at the bedside our attention is fully on the patient and the patient’s needs and comfort. I’m glad you know what you want in your caregiving I’m sure you do a good job.
Rubbish Tulip, you clearly weren't awake during the tutorial...they did address this very topic you are having a go at them about. Pay more attention.
This is what causes friction on patients 🤦♀️ and sores 😡 is from pulling them like this !!!!
Unfortunately, you’re wrong. If you are moving the patient with the turnsheet, their body is being sheared - the turnsheet/draw sheet and the sheet directly on the bed are having the friction. You can also use a large plastic bag to get better slide. Leaving a patient slumped down at the end of the bed is also dangerous for their breathing so it is very important to have them high in the bed so their chest will be allowed to expand when the bed is raised. We’ve done this for 45 years and never hurt anyone’s skin. Best wishes in your caregiving and perhaps you can visit our website www.thecareplan.net for a lot more support on symptom management as well. Thank you for your comment and your good caregiving. Best wishes.
Unfortunately for me, here in England carers are not allowed to use slide sheets alone and has to be done with two people, but as you know there are times when there is no double up and in compromising situations and have to do it alone. Unfortunately again, the bed that my client is in has a high bed head so i am unable to reach over it, so im now using a gantry hoist alone and with a lot of unnecessary stress and pain for the client who is 98yrs old
There are many ways and I'm glad you are doing what is needed to get comfort for your patient. I used to work spinal cord and we never provided positioning care without a partner - it's absolutely the best way for the patient and the carer. Glad you're being creative - that's also the challenge I enjoy. Thanks for watching. Brenda and I have over 50 years of actual bedside hospice care and are still working full time!
