Nanaimo 24-Hour In-Home Supervision Includes Lifting and Transfers

Nanaimo 24-hour in-home supervision is a compassionate service that needs to include lifting and transfers to help older people with their mobility. Helping your older relative transfer safely from a wheelchair to a toilet or from their favourite chair to a walker protects them and gives them a sense of belonging and accomplishment in their home.

Here’s a few different scenarios where this service can come in handy.

In The Morning

Your loved one might have just come home from some surgery or treatment at the hospital. There’s no need for them to worry about swinging their leg off of bed and standing up safely beside it.

A good caregiver understands how to use the proper tools, like a sideboard or a gate belt. We can also help by ensuring an older person sits up in bed properly by supporting their head shoulders and hips. These people understand the techniques involved including a pivot transfer to a wheelchair

Nanaimo 24 Hour In Home Supervision Includes Help In The Bathroom

This is a delicate area where your loved one’s dignity needs to remain intact. A support worker can help use proper lifting techniques for someone who needs extra help in the washroom. These people understand the right techniques and how to communicate every step before lifting a senior. 

They look after all the details, including gently rocking a senior forward before returning them to a standing position.

Transfers To The Car 

Older people need assistance getting to and from their doctor’s appointments. A care provider understands how to supply safe transportation using tools like swivel cushions or transfer boards.

Thoroughness is one of the catchwords here. A caregiver ensures the transfer boards are secure and flat before they are used. They also understand how to use a gait belt properly so the seniors’ movements are controlled and safe.

Just like Family Home Care offers Nanaimo 24-hour in-home supervision that includes these lifting and transfer services. A senior feels engaged and ready to participate in daily activities with the right caregiver working with them. A compassionate helper can turn these moments into reassuring rituals that foster strong companionship.
