Disclosure statements
This course provides general guidance for caregivers and support staff working in adult foster care and group living environments on how to minimize physical strain and reduce the risk of back injuries during resident transfers.
The course content is informational and not intended to replace professional training in physical therapy, occupational therapy, or certified transfer techniques. Participants should always follow their facility’s policies, manufacturer instructions for assistive equipment, and any applicable state or federal guidelines.
The techniques and recommendations discussed are intended to support safer practices, but they do not substitute for formal certification or clinical judgment. Always assess each situation individually, and when in doubt, seek the assistance of trained professionals or use mechanical lift systems as directed.
Use of transfer belts, pivot poles, back braces, and other equipment should comply with product guidelines and only be used by staff who have received proper instruction.
