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.😊

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.

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.

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

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

[MOish]

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.

[fsdm]

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..

[sappsour]

That is for people who can help themselves

[mondemo]

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

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.

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

[sympleyumie]

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...

[lanettastanding]

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

[elyakatsuki]

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

[vonjeprilaguila]

Thank you so much, this is very helpful.

[karenmejia]

Try this you a patient who is unable to help you

[virtualtreadmillwalknature]

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

[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?

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