Ep 24 - Helping Someone Move Safely

About this episode

This episode provides advice on safely assisting someone with mobility.

When we are caring for another person we often need to help them move around. This episode offers some advice on some of the things you can do to protect yourself while helping them to move between furniture, or in a bed, safely. Please also follow this link to watch videos on assisting someone, and also on giving someone a bath or hair wash in bed. https://www.youtube.com/@otagocommunityhospice817/videos We would love to hear from you.
