Transfer Aids FAQs
What is a transfer aid?
+
A transfer aid is a device designed to help individuals with limited mobility move safely from one position to another. They can be used in a variety of situations, such as moving from a bed to a chair or getting in and out of the bath. Transfer aids can support both carers assisting others and individuals managing their own mobility needs.
How do I use lifting and transfer aids?
+
How a lifting or transfer aid is used depends on the type of device. For example, some products, such as bath boards, are designed for independent use and help promote greater independence. Others, like transfer chairs, are intended to be operated by a carer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and if in doubt, seek professional guidance to ensure safe use.
What is a hoist used for in a care home?
+
A hoist or sling is commonly used in care homes to make it easier for carers to move patients without physical strain. Unlike general mobility transfer aids, which assist with repositioning or standing, hoists and slings are designed for lifting and moving individuals who require full support.
What does moving equipment include in health and social care?
+
Moving and transfer aids form part of the broader category of moving equipment. This includes hoists, slings, transfer boards, wheelchairs, transfer seats, and turntables. While widely used in health and social care settings, many of these aids are also suitable for home use by those with limited mobility.
