ƽ WARNING

DO NOT attempt any transfer of a resident without approval of the resident's

physician, nurse, or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this

procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with proper

supervision and a capable individual acting as a resident.

Lock the rear casters of the bath lift when transferring an individual onto the seat.

Locking the rear casters will stabilize the lift and help prevent it from shifting during

transfer.

Each facility and each resident will require a unique set of instructions and

procedures to follow for each bath. Check with your supervisor and the resident’s

chart for the proper procedures to follow.

Review and practice the operation with able an bodied assistant before attempting
