If your loved one has one-sided weakness, whether from a stroke, surgery, or injury, transferring them safely from bed to commode requires more than just helping them stand. The positioning, the pivot, and where YOU stand as the caregiver all make a critical difference.
Watch this demonstration carefully and save it. 💙
Key things to remember:
✅ Always use a gait belt - never transfer without one
✅ Place your knee directly in front of the patient for stability
✅ Let them lead with their stronger side to push up
✅ Don’t instruct them to sit until they can physically feel the commode behind them
✅ Always anchor the commode - stand directly behind it to prevent tipping
One wrong step during a transfer is all it takes for a serious fall to happen. These details save lives.
✅How our team helps:
Our trained caregivers are skilled in safe patient transfers - using proper technique, the right equipment, and clinical oversight from our registered nurses. You don’t have to figure this out alone. 💙
