Proper lifting techniques help you to assist an elderly loved one without hurting yourself.
If you’re caring for someone who needs assistance getting in and out of bed or to their wheelchair and back, you need to know how to do that safely, without causing injury. At times, being moved, moving improperly, or staying in one position for too long can cause tears in the skin or ulcers.
There are many reasons the person you’re caring for may need a wheelchair. The way you transfer someone from the bed to the wheelchair may vary based on why the wheelchair is needed.
