Are you spending a lot of time or doing a lot of work just to transfer your loved one to the toilet?

Well, we’re here to tell you that there is almost certainly a better way.

In our experience, the reason a lot of people have so much trouble in this area is because they are not utilizing time-tested methods that dramatically increase convenience, time investment and, most importantly, safety.

First off, ask yourself some questions:

• Are you using any disability aids or mechanisms to assist in bathroom transfers?
• Is your loved one using any special toilet seating arrangements?
• Are you having to lift or support a lot of weight to get your loved one safely to the toilet seat?
• Have you and your loved one suffered accidents such as falling or pulling muscles?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it’s time to look for an easier way to do things. And guess what? There is an easier way to do things. It just takes a little digging and tweaking to find out what works best for you.

That being said, here are some of the most common tricks and hacks to take the all-consuming stress out of transfers:

Use a patient transfer lift

Investing in a quality patient transfer lift is probably the No. 1 way to make transferring easy as pie.

This is more expensive than other options upfront, but it very often saves people in the long run. Think of all the things you spend time and money on now precisely because you’re not using a patient transfer lift.

• Do you keep having to pay a doctor to fix your back because lifting your loved one is throwing your back out?
• Are you paying medical bills for a loved one who got injured during a transfer?
• Are you spending so much time on toileting and showering for your loved one that neither you nor them have enough time in the rest of the day to maximize your potential?

A patient transfer lift can prevent all these things.
