TRANSFERS
BED TO CHAIR TRANSFER
1. Choose the appropriate sling for your resident.
2. Turn the resident on their side and position the sling at their back. Spread one
side of the sling out and turn the resident onto it and over further onto their side.
Spread the other half of the sling out and turn the resident onto their back.
3. Position the legs of the sling under the residents legs.
4. Position the Ready Care Lift over the resident and lower the lift arm assembly,
using the hand control, low enough to allow you to connect the sling to the
hanger.
5. Raise the resident off the bed using the hand control.
6. Move the Ready Care Lift with resident and position over the chair. Position the
resident so as they are lowered they will be correctly positioned to be seated in
the chair.
7. At this point, if lowering into a wheelchair, lock the wheels of the chair. You may
also want to lock the back wheels of the Ready Care Lift. Slowly start to lower the
resident observing their descent and the position they are achieving in the chair.
You may want to adjust accordingly if the position is not correct.
To position the resident straight in the chair, pull on the sling loop located at the
residents back as you are lowering them into the chair.
8. Continue to lower. If the wheelchair tilts back slightly, it is normal. It will correct
itself when the resident is completely in the chair.
9. Once the resident is fully seated, lower the lift arm assembly to enable you to
remove the sling from the hanger.
10. Lift the residents legs in order to remove the leg sections of the sling.
11. Lean the resident forward and remove the sling from behind them.
**NOTE**
Spreader bars can be used for very large residents or for lifting from the floor.
