Caregiver Training: Transferring From A Bed To A Wheelchair - 24 Hour Home Care

[@shaunwalker6651]

I'm a retired Home Health Aide, you only get basic training it's not easy. I don't know how things are now but we had in-service once a month and got paid. Personal care aide once a year and Home Health Aide twice a year, mandatory. But we went every month to get the training we needed. We we're blessed to have excellent NURSES, they were our biggest mentor and I going back to the late 1970,80 and 90 some things has changed in training not to much. I enjoy working with my patients and so family members. I took care of Teachers and Teachers Family members, Doctor's, Nurses and Lawyer's. I learn so much from my patients. But what I love the most getting advice from the Doctors and Nurses and the respect. One nurse told us she wish she was a Aide first then went to school to be nurse, she told us to take advantage of the exposure and the written test would be easy. The Dr told me to never change because I had patience and never change I had one nurse her mother inlaw had DEMENTIA and she taught me how to work with her mother inlaw. That's why I love my job as HHA.😊

U need to do these videos with the people who are really sick eg. Stroke patients.

[@chaisemuringe7143]

Very true cos not that easy as he's saying..Am a care giver in Iraq

[@tianaibhade6172]

Very true.

[@ronstone6839]

Currently providing home care for my wife who has already been in a wheelchair with a disability. One point you MIGHT have included was to assure that the patient's FEET are on the foot pedals. True, some patients might not need them; they might either 'walk' along as they are being pushed or rolling on their own, but they might not be able to.

[@healthyfitnesslifeguy6217]

I use pedals for my mom as she easily slides and the pedals "somewhat" provides that support or hold.

[@MO99ish]

If the patient can do that much for himself the transfer is easy. I need to find tips on how to transfer them when they’re NOT able to help.

[@hefsak]

I agree

[@brahmabkitty03]

Right!

[@hefsak]

I'm an in home care giver. But they did not give me in person training. Just step by step instructions

[@chrissyj4702]

Did you find any helpful ones? I'm having trouble because most of my residents can't take those steps it's even hard for them to get into a standing position

[@fsdm9864]

i think you need to check the wheelchair if its lock before you procced and also on the lower part of the patient while in the wheel chair check the foot rest if its the leg is in the right position..

[@sappsour6302]

That is for people who can help themselves

[@JosephKimJoeyBigTime]

this is unrealistic. 99% of my patients cannot sit up in bed. he assisted using one hand. i have to assist using to hands and pulling like my life depended on it and i'm 225 and muscular.

[@lindadadi7243]

Can you help me please

[@wanettarenay8215]

YOU LEFT OUT TWO MAJOR STEPS; FIRST , MAKE SURE WHEELCHAIR IS LOCKED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TRANSFER, 2ND MAKE SURE FOOT RESTS ARE OVER TO THE SIDE AND OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TRANSFER

[@haitianarmy3423]

I know right

[@alexandermilentis2130]

Ummm... there definitely weren't any foot rests on the w/c. You definitely want to make sure the wheelchair is locked and also it would have made more sense to bring the w/c closer and do a stand pivot. If the person is needing mod assist for the transfer, no reason to have the wheelchair clear across the room.

[@snugglylola0805]

Good point!

[@mixumup1]

thanks

[@Claris235]

Yes footrest...

[@mondemo4714]

This was so helpful. It's much better than reading out the steps

[@sympleyumie9173]

Im not a caregiver..but my patient is more than like this...but thanks god 8 yrs i take care of her...its so had..i handle it...

[@mharliajeanviola891]

Oh.. I recall all the lectures we had last meeting because of this video. gee. thanks.. but theres only one thing, I guess the wheelchair is supposed to be positioned near the leg side of the bed... :3

[@jillianjillian3711]

I'm planning to enroll for a caregiver..

[@CelineLynn-ll5hy]

Me too

[@johnhill8273]

Thanks for the video

[@rjabja]

It takes three family members to move my mom who weighs 117 pounds but when the hospice gal comes in she can do it with one move. Family members need to know how to move a body without injuring the patient or themselves. How about a video showing how to move a combatant dementia patient because that would be a realistic video. This was not helpful at all.

[@chrissyj4702]

I agree 100% I'm just starting out and the patients can barely stand let alone pivot to the wheelchair but I see others do it and they just have tricks that are nowhere to be found in any of these videos

[@tashaitaylor4415]

I need this too

[@luisdominicci2864]

Thank you men this is what I need

[@Catalina-hc9mi]

Loved this example, thanks!

[@t.p.gentertainment7065]

Yes

[@ane7437]

You put the gait belt but you did not use it while lifting up the patient.

[@Fake_2422]

Good job

[@361Ratch]

Thank you!

[@susanagyamfuwaah1874]

Pls why do you use the belt on him

[@elyakatsuki3068]

Man how about a patient with a broken knee? Pls make a video

[@vonjeprilaguila8537]

Thank you so much, this is very helpful.

[@FilipinosaAmericavlog]

Nice

[@muslimmarriagebureaumalda1630]

My care job

[@lanettastanding1003]

Clients in their 80’s don’t get up that easy, further more cannot bend their legs from pain. as a trainer you need to show how to transfer patients that’s in pain or cannot move their legs

[@virtualtreadmillwalknature1488]

This is amazing !! I hope my channel will help with indoor workout and fall in asleep as well. Thanks for your amazing work!! ❤🇺🇸

[@aziebhailabwedemichael3685]

I watch these is very easy I think the patient was helped to him.

[@karenmejia1001]

Try this you a patient who is unable to help you

[@CartCats]

Wouldn't it be easier to move the top part of the bed to an upright position when getting the person out of bed?

[@bellegreycats490]

No, because of weight distribution. You want them to participate in moving and the weight of the body is transferred not to the buttocks, but to the lower back, and that is not the correct way to transfer a person from “sitting” they have a better chance at sliding if the weight is not on the buttocks where it belongs in transferring position.

[@browneyez4069]

That's right, position the feet , raise the head of the bed to whatever is tolerated by the pt., then swing the feet..etc.

[@tashicamckenzie7532]

Love this video thanks

[@nadinewedderburn4318]

What if there's no gait belt

[@CuongTran-dw5cy]

Hay quá

[@MrMadfrankie]

foot rests were left on the floor behind him.. omg

[@domeniques3498]

This isn't even easy like they make it they need someone who is tonight fight you back

[@mariceltoledo3222]

Was it supposed to be turning around the patient and make sure wheelchair are close enough from the bed?

[@kugita6638]

unsa mn na ui, able mn na ui!

[@ssibanda311]

It would be nicer to learn especially when the patient is paralyzed waist down

[@tastefoods986]

❤

[@kaherbalplantph808]

can we earn certificate by online training.?

[@bellegreycats490]

Excellent

[@randyalfonso9008]

Excellent? Damn it's wrong and unsafe!

[@ljab1533]

Every body Know thats i done 27?years to take care older people

[@jenastrologo9832]

This only applies if the patient can walk

[@chichidaniels2677]

Would this apply with opposite sex,and varying cultural beliefs on wat is inappropriate or not?

[@biboybuiza828]

Dapat mdyo malapit ung upoan para di mahirapan ung pasynte....!!!

[@ghostkeeper6218]

What is the reasoning for the belt?

[@chisomoanguleti3596]

Help the back

[@jcotton5332]

This Video is all done Wrong Period!!!!!! Don’t Hurt yourself Doing the wrong thing as stated here

[@pjay3010]

[@swapnasamuel3562]

[@SandyLouise-r3z]

Thomas Daniel Rodriguez Mary Davis Thomas

[@sanjaysaxena7407]

What if fracture or paralysis uts NOT So easy and u even mot touched belt wrong video

[@christinabolanos]

I suggest not to lift him too fast from laying flat to sitting down

[@user-qi3nh9ly3o]

Try that with a late stage Alzheimer’s patient who can not stand straight or support her upper trunk.

[@monicawatson5355]

You should've taken off the gaitbelt, once the patient is sitting in the wheel chair

[@HarteTed]

Johnson Eric Allen Paul Harris Steven

[@amandadean1307]

I think u should train with a person that really can't walk

[@stormflame829]

That's very difficult to listen to with the background drilling, and first step should be locking the wheelchair

[@elizacalderon-oc5vs]

Miller Daniel Wilson Angela Thompson Deborah

[@homenursingcareservicesran8519]

Ranchi me melga

[@aileengablan5917]

the wheelchair should be placed on the foot part of the bed/patient; forgot the seatbelt; forgot also the put the foot on the footplate

[@alexandermilentis2130]

what seatbelt? hahaha he's not driving a truck

[@SilverSparkles22]

All carers are going HUH😂 OK lets do it with stroke survivors, dementia patients etc.

[@lancetuvz4186]

kulang po ung support...I'm sorry.

[@TosiekChoodniak]

♿️👍

[@corey8778]

he barely even used the gait belt wtf 💀

[@simon8142]

bad sample and no safety. The career may fall down if the client too heavy.......

[@randyalfonso9008]

This is so wrong! Unsafe and not properly doing your job dude.

[@therealilanchefpatricia]

This is false on so many levels

[@skyflowerkat915]

Obese patients are harder to transfer unfortunately
