Make an informed next step
Start with the movement.
Understand the support.
Moving between a bed, chair or other surface involves more than the equipment. Start with the person, the space and the assistance available, then ask which options deserve an individual assessment.
Bring your questions
Your home.
Your routine.
Your priorities.
- What would you like to make easier?
- What needs to fit the space and the person?
- What support will you want after installation?
General guidance, not an individual equipment recommendation.
Understand the options
A conversation, not a self-prescription.
Transfer aids are used around movements between positions or surfaces, such as a bed and a chair. Different aids support different tasks; a belt, board, stand-assist device or hoist is not an interchangeable solution.
Bring a description of where the movement starts and ends, the furniture involved and who normally helps. Suitability and safe use need an individual assessment and appropriate instruction. This page is a starting point for questions, not a transfer technique or self-selection guide.
A closer look
Support for the everyday moves.
Explore the transfer-aid categories described on the HomePro website. The right choice depends on the person, the movement and the space; this is not a self-selection or operating guide.
Transfer belts and gait belts
Discuss support for assisted movement, including who will provide assistance and what instruction they need.
Transfer boards
Explore a board-based transfer between suitable surfaces. Bring details of the seats, their heights and the available space to the assessment.
Stand assist aids
Discuss support for moving from sitting to standing, with the person’s abilities and the surrounding furniture considered together.
Pivot discs
Ask about support for turning between seats and whether this approach is appropriate for the person and transfer.
Hoists and ceiling track systems
Explore portable and fixed-track options with the team. Ask about layout, equipment compatibility, installation and training before choosing a system.
Clarity before commitment
Three parts of the conversation.
The situation
Describe the start and end positions, furniture heights, clear floor space and any doorway on the route. Explain who normally assists and which part of the movement is difficult.
The assessment
Ask who will assess suitability and what information is needed before any equipment recommendation.
Instruction and follow-up
Confirm instruction, service responsibilities and how to review the equipment if circumstances change.
Useful answers
Questions worth asking.
A product cannot be selected responsibly from this general page. Request an individual assessment of the person, movement, environment and available assistance.
Confirm what instruction is provided for the exact equipment and who needs to participate before it is used.
Describe the equipment and what has changed, then confirm the available assessment and service scope.
Start with what matters to you.
Tell HomePro which daily movement you want to discuss and what the surrounding space is like. Ask who should assess suitability, what instruction will be provided and how ongoing service is arranged. Please do not send medical history through the inquiry form.
