Bed To Wheelchair Transfer

If you are someone's next of kin, or spouse, than you can have them committed to a facility, if you can prove to the state judiciary that said person has an inherent inability to care for themselves. This can only be done if you are the next of kin, spouse, or sometimes a sibling can do this as well. This is also true of mental conditions as well. But the main factor is being able to prove that if no action is taken, then that person is liable to do harm to themselves or others. Hope this helps.

First of all, it does depend on their weight, your strength, and the distance. Can they stand at all or are they unable to bare weight. My suggestion is to get a gait belt from your local pharmacy and use it, get the chair as close to the bed as possible. Put the gait belt around their waist and tighten it to where it doesn't slip up or down but you can fit both sets of fingers to the middle knuckles. When lifting them, bend your knees and tell them to put their hands on your shoulders ( NOT YOUR NECK) and hold on while you lift them from the chair. Have their knees against your thighs as your lift and swing toward the bed. Be sure to get them set on the bed far enough that the back of their knees are touching the bed.

I need pictorial guides to train the caregiver/ maid of my semi paralegic elderly mum to transfer her from bed to wheelchair and into a car

if she doesnt know how she should not be your moms caregiver she could hurt your mom or herself (which would make you responsible) she legally should not perform hands on care without being certified.

my mother is 80 years old, 60 years in wheelchair, she uses a transfer board to get from wheelchair to recliner, toilet, and bed. She has to slide and does not have any lift in her arms, the flesh on her bottom is breaking down. any ideas on how to protect her flesh so she can continue to transfer? Is there a product or bandage that she could wear to protect that area? she has no use of her legs and depends on her arms, she cannot wear underpants.

That's called bed sores. Can be life threatening. Here's an idea......... GO TO THE DOCTOR.
