[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. I am so sorry to hear about your parent, and the home care challenges that you are experiencing. We have both a hoyer lift and a sliding board, but we only use a sliding board to transfer a family member. Normally, a physical therapist would recommend or write a script after accessing a patient’s needs. The PT would also train the family and a HHA how to safely transfer. The benefit of training a family member is so that the family member can train other HHA’s incase the trained HHA leaves. For the time being, you could search online for “mobility transfer boards or sliding boards.” I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions. [/quote]
