Thanks, Very well done!😁👏👏 I am a Cargiver and work with a client that has Alzheimer's. When it's time to move from chair to bed, she's sometimes gets confused and become combative and pushes backwards without placing her hands around my neck... This in return puts pressure on my back. I take timeout before trying again... I often need to ask for assistance, how can I go about doing this successfully?
Yes that’s very familiar to me. Patients with Alzheimer’s do this because Moving is frightening and they don’t have any control over their body. I feel like you will drop them or they are falling. It sounds like you are all ready giving verbal support and queuing so if this patient is almost to the point of belligerence you may need to ask the physician for a calming medication. Clearly the patient suffers when they are terribly frightened and it puts you physically at risk. Please visit our website www.thecaraplan.net for more information and thank you for your good question. Good luck
I want to thank you both for these videos. My brother was completely bedridden for 16 years, from age 19 to 35, with MS. This was during the 90’s, so no UA-cam. Mom and I had no idea what we were doing, and now we are paying for it with horrible arthritis, well, mom is, and mine’s coming. I was just asked to help with my x-father-in-law who is the sweetest man on Earth, but sadly is struggling with Parkinson’s. Thanks to you, I feel more confident that I can do this. God bless you both ❤️
Well good on you for being such a loving family member! But this time around please be careful of your own body!. Thanks for watching. Brenda and I have over 50 years of actual bedside hospice care and are still working full time! Please consider going to our website to thank us for the FREE videos at www.thecareplan.net and pick up our $5 booklet which will review how to manage ALL of the major symptoms that may arise. Care is treatment! Thanks again, Nancy
@@TheHospiceCarePlan my mom says the same thing. She worries about my back. Thank you for the response, I will visit your website.
I'm sorry but it's visible that he does have the ability to stand and so the process is easier for you whereas me trying to do that with the person I'm working with is near on impossible.
It really would be nice to see you do this on someone that really can't stand.
You’re right he does have some strength and many patients don’t have any but the technique is the same. You just have to use more of your own strength or get help to do the pivot. We cannot do this kind of thing and put it online with a patient, it would be against the HIPAA laws. thank you for watching and please visit our website www.thecareplan.net and by the way the use of a gait belt is very effective. Some of them now can be purchased with handles that really help on the lifting and pivoting. Sometimes also a sit to stand Hoyer lift can be utilized if available in the facility. Thanks again and best wishes in your caregiving.
I agree Lorraine. Have tried this with my 190 lb 96 yo father twice and he fell into me then on top of me both times because he couldn’t contribute to the process.
Reinforces assessing your patient for appropriateness of this method I feel.
Thank you! Exactly the same question I asked
You are simply amazing people. I am glad I came across your channel.
Thank you! We are honored and blessed to do this work - it is a privilege. Please support us by going to our website: TheCarePlan.net nad purchasing our booklet which reviews the care of many of the symptoms people experience with a decline to bedbound status.
Best wishes.
This is unreal when patient can not stand by him/herself. This sort of dancing with the patient before seating is not taking place. You have to hold and turn him/her fast.
You’re right that some patients cannot support their own weight but if you turn very quickly you can break a bone in the calf if you twist their legs. Be very careful what happened to my mother-in-law. Check out our website www.thecareplan.net/shop and have a great day.
They said that at the beginning. It’s only for people who can assist the caregiver
Needs transfer aids
They mention that it is only for people who can help
Ladies you have open my eyes! God bless you!
Thank you so much please spread the word we want everyone to know how to give good care to the beloved in the bed. Please visit our website www.thecareplan.net for lots more information and our booklet. Good luck in all your caregiving
Extremely helpful. You guys are great.
Thanks to you too Dan😅.
Hmmm you must be local if you know, Dan is our patient. He definitely was a good sport! And, of course, has always love taking care of people himself in another professional way.
I have FND. Some days I can skip and run, and some days I am completely paralysed. This is perfect for my partner and I to help manage my care while also helping to maintain my independence. Thank you!
I’m so very happy you have a partner who is skilled and that you are both able to flow with your needs. How courageous you sound! Please visit our website www.thecareplan.net for our booklet, which will help with managing all of the symptoms that you may be encountering. Best wishes to you both.

My mom just had a stroke this video helped me so much thank you !!!!!
You are so welcome. Please go to our website: the care plan.net for more information and support. Your mother is lucky to have your loving care.
Excellent demonstration! Unfortunately, I am the sole caretaker for my Mom ... and I am weak from cancer and an autoimmune disease. There is no way I could bend and rock like that. I have been having her get up with her walker, shuffle until she is lined up with the walker, and then having her sit down...then the ‘fun’ begins trying to her out and into the car or her lift chair!
You're doing a great job. Caregiving is such hard physical labor - and for you a labor of love. Contact your local home health or hospice and get some help! Volunteers for hospice can spell you while you do other chores. Take care of yourself!
My prayers are with you and your mom
A great and helpful video
Thanks and Don’t forget to visit our website
thecareplan.net for lots more info and Best wishes in your caregiving ahead.
Nice i did a course with the elderly and this really helps knowing more about the wheel chair getting ready to work at a nursing home,
Good luck in your new job.

You will be a star if you know how to handle some of these things that are definitely going to be seen. Best wishes.
Wonderful! This is why we taped these videos and believe it or not even caregivers don’t know how to do these things. Please support us by going to our website www.thecareplan.net and buying our five dollar booklet which will review all of the symptoms that you may come across and caring for your husband. best wishes to you.

Very nice teaching
Thanks really appreciate your support. Hope you go onto our website www.thecareplan.net which really includes not only caregiving but actual symptom management. Our booklet is only five dollars and is chock-full of our experience with over 45 years of hospice care. Thanks and have a good day
Very informative
Thank you very much for your affirmation. Visit our website www.thecareplan.net for a lot more. Good luck in your own caregiving.
My fiance has multiple sclerosis and is confined to a bed. My technique is a bit different from yours. I start by having her foot that's closest to the chair a little closer to me, it makes it easier to "spin" her to the chair as her feet are almost in the perfect position already.
I try to avoid her holding onto my neck as if she doesn't let go, and i'm in a bad position, it can hurt my back. I instead let her know to keep her arms around my shoulders or slightly below them.
Many of the tips are good here though, locking the chair and place and removing any foot rests is extremely important. Putting your knees on the outside of the other person's knee's is a great trick that I learned along the way and really does make control a lot easier too.
Thanks for your careful reply. There are so many ways to give good care, and clearly you found what works best for you and your fiancé. How fabulous that she has such a loving partner to provide her care. I hope you will go to our website www.thecareplan.net to review our booklet regarding all of the symptoms that you may need help with as you care for your fiancé. Best wishes and thank you.
Love this ❤❤❤❤

There should be a gait belt around him.
You’re certainly right that a gait belt can hold help you as the caregiver and protect the patient. But it isn’t always necessary depending on the patience functionality. Thanks for putting that out there. We will add it to our next UA-cam.UA-cam response:
Thank you. We are so happy to share our expertise and knowledge because we will all need this information at sometime in our life, or in the life of someone we love. Please say your thanks bye going to our website: TheCarePlan.net to buy our five dollar booklet, which reviews all of the major symptoms that may occur and what you can do to manage them. Care is treatment! Best wishes in your caregiving.❤️
ur vides is great
Thanks for the comment, please see our website: OdonataCare.com for more info. And thanks for the caregiving you are doing.
Can you show me how to safely use a hoist. My dad is fully in bed and he needs a hoist to pick him up to a wheelchair
Excellent question! We will put using a hoyer lift on our list!
In the meantime if you search for "Using a hoyer lift" - there is a training video there - didn't watch it but it's a place to start
If the chair arms are removable, taking the arm off closest to the bed allows you to transfer without a full stand. Remember always to lock the chair.
You're right and thanks for the reminder - so many steps to remember to say during a video. Thanks for watching. Brenda and I have over 50 years of actual bedside hospice care and are still working full time!

Nice to know
Thanks and Don’t forget to visit our website
thecareplan.net for lots more info and Best wishes in your caregiving ahead.
what if the patiet cant stand on his feet while we move him? like in my mom case please
You must do a full lifting pivot transfer - same process but you do the full lift and pivot with your own strength. You may use 2 people also - one under each arm. Ask your hospice team (or home health) for a physical therapy referral to assess your client and teach you how to do it so you are all safe. Good luck and thanks for your good care of your patient. Thanks for the comment, please see our website: OdonataCare.com for more info.
How do you transfer from bed to wheelchair totally paralyzed and no help patient?
Exact same was as in the video but you will have to do a full weight lifting transfer - or get a sit to stand hoyer lift. If pt is on hospice - they can get you one and train on its use. If on home health - please ask your nurse : physician for a physical therapy referral to train you in safe transfers. See more at our website: TheCarePlan.net. Thanks for your question and best wishes.
I don't think so, that patients usually have a special chair, special for that condition, it is not a normal wheelchair. Also you have to lift them with a "Hoist" to be transfer (a special machine to lift people)
Use a gait belt
Thanks for your comment - that is going to be a separate video that we are taping this weekend in fact! Not all homes have one handy...It is an honor! Thanks for watching.

My mom is bedridden cannot sit or stand.How can I transfer to bed to wheel chair .
Sorry, I didn’t see your question until today. First of all you need to find out what is the cost of your mom’s being out of breath? Is there something that needs to be attended to? She have respiratory disease, and she anxious when she is flat, is there back pain? You may have to address this symptom with a medication to allow her to be comfortable enough to receive care. Please get a free copy of our booklet at our website www.thecareplan.net. … Use the code: theareplan and read the page and breathing and anxiety. Best wishes.
That's a great way to end your career doing it that way. One misstep, and you've got a back/neck/should problem. I personally would use a gait belt to do the transfer.
Thanks for your replay - yes a gait belt is a very helpful tool and we didn't show it this time. We vetted this process with 3 of our PTs in our company and they agreed. Best wishes in your caregiving and thanks - we will do another vide on the use of a gait belt also! Brenda and I have over 50 years of actual bedside hospice care and are still working full time!

E per i pazienti che sono inerti come si fa?
Wish I knew your language! Now, perhaps you would consider thanking us by visiting our website: TheCarePlan.net and to purchase our $5 booklet which teaches how to care for all of the major symptoms that may arise when a patient is bedbound or in decline.... everything you can do WITHOUT an order. Care is Treatment! That;'s our motto. Best wishes and thanks for your caregiving.
My question is, what if the patient cannot move at all? Atleast he could move. My question again is, what if the patient cannot move?
The patient will not be able to be gotten out of bed - or a hoyer lift will need to be used. We have a video coming up just about this. Sometimes a patient becomes bedbound.... Thanks for your question. Thanks for watching and keep us in your focus. Brenda and I have over 50 years of actual bedside hospice care and are still working full time! We have lots of tips up our sleeves.

Care is treatment! Thanks again, Nancy
when they weight 330 lbs., you're not going to lift them like this you will break your back bad video
Of course we would never do that by yourself in risk injuring yourself. Gotta get help for somebody like that. Even if it’s with more than one person the technique is the same. Best wishes in your caregiving.
❤❤❤
Kaleb, thanks for watching all of our videos. Hope you’re picking up some tips and please go to our website www.thecareplan.net for our booklet and the need to manage most of the bedbound symptoms you will encounter. Best wishes to you and happy Thanksgiving.
iy
I don’t speak your language but thank you for your comment. Please visit our website: wwwTheCarePlan.net for much more and best wishes in your caregiving.

U cant and the field
Sorry, I don't understand your comment... please clarify and Thanks for watching. Brenda and I have over 50 years of actual bedside hospice care and are still working full time! Please consider going to our website to thank us for the FREE videos at www.thecareplan.net and pick up our $5 booklet which will review how to manage ALL of the major symptoms that may arise. Care is treatment! Thanks again, Nancy
I don’t agree with this technique (bear hug). The carer is lifting the patient, straining their back and the patient abilities maybe variable with the risk of them pulling on the carer’s neck or stepping on the carer’s feet risking tripping and becoming out of balance which likely to injury the carer’s back
There are many ways, and we hope that you have one that works for you. Our method has been tried intrude and reviewed with several physical therapist for sure its accuracy. Best wishes in your caregiving and we’re glad you’re able to use a method that works for you. Care is treatment! Visit our website www.thecareplan.net for a booklet that teaches how to manage all the major symptoms that arise to the bedbound patient. Best wishes.
This is not professional
There are many ways to provide care, and our physical therapist underlined this method. Certainly hope you’re able to transfer your patience successfully with the method that is best for you and your team. All caregiving is needed and so we send you the best in your version. Take good care.
Strongly advise not to use this technique.
Speaking as a Patient handling instructor, this technique is not regarded as best practice.
Glad you feel confident in your technique! There are sooo many ways and we received this info and demo from 2 very long standing and professional physical therapists - as well as practicing it ourselves. 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!
What happens if you lose grip and that person starts to slip and they fall? SHAME ON YOU for not using a gate belt! Your nurses for crying out loud! A gate belt gives you a good grip that you’re not going to drop the patient! That’s patient care 101! Please remove this video and redo it with the gate belt for the sake of all the people that are going to get hurt or their family members!
WOW, guess I hear you loud and clear - we will do a new video just for that - you're right. Thanks for watching and keep us in your focus. Brenda and I have over 50 years of actual bedside hospice care and are still working full time! We have lots of tips up our sleeves.

I'm watching this video because I need to know how to do this tomorrow for an elderly relative who started hospice today. She doesn't have a gait belt yet and we don't know when it will arrive. This is exactly the video I need.
