POINTS TO REMEMBER

More than one caregiver may be needed.

Always transfer to resident's strongest side. Use good body mechanics and a rocking and pulling motion rather than lifting when using a belt.

Belts may not be suitable for ambulation of heavy residents or residents with recent abdominal or back surgery, abdominal aneurysm, etc.

Ensure belt is securely fastened and cannot be easily undone by the resident during transfer.

Ensure a layer of clothing is between residents' skin and the belt to avoid abrasion.

Keep resident as close as possible to caregiver during transfer.

Lower bed-rails; remove arms and footrests from chairs, and other items that may obstruct the transfer.
