- Moving a Heavy Patient up in Bed
This video describes how to move and position a heavy patient in bed - use a large plastic garbage bag as a turn sheet or order one with handles - they will slide much easier than the sheets. Of course always tell the patient what you plan to do before you move.
Put one foot forward as you prepare to move the patient. Put your weight on your front leg. On the count of three, move the patient by shifting your weight to your back leg and pulling the sheet toward the head of the bed. You may need to do this more than once to get the person in the right position.

Wow , my niece just had a baby and surgery. We were struggling to get her in bed comfortably. I’m praying this helps. I’ll let you know
I certainly home it does - there are several videos about positioning so do watch a couple more. Congratulations about the baby! Brenda and I have over 50 years of actual bedside hospice care and are still working full time! Please consider going to our website to thank us for the FREE videos at www.thecareplan.net and pick up our $5 booklet which will review how to manage ALL of the major symptoms that may arise.

Ah, just learning about the slide sheet! As to mom pushing herself up the bed with bent knees, her feet slip on the sheet, even with rubbery-bottom socks. Hoping you may have a suggestion there.
You can do it!
HELPFUL TIP TO ADD-- YOU WANT TO RAISE THE LEG/FEET AREA OF THE HOSPITAL BED TOO. JUST PUSH THE BUTTON TO ELEVATE THE LEGS UP AND THEN IT WILL BE EVEN EASIER TO MOVE THE PATIENT.
Absolutely - I better watch it again because I thought it was in there... all of our other videos do.. Gotta use gravity - I agree and am so surprised that very few caregivers know how to do it. Thanks for watching... Brenda and I have over 50 years of actual bedside hospice care and are still working full time! We have lots of tips up our sleeves. Please consider going to our website to thank us for the FREE videos at www.thehospicecareplan.com and pick up our $5 booklet which will review how to manage ALL of the major symptoms that may arise. Care is treatment! Thanks again, Nancy
@@TheHospiceCarePlan thank you so very much for all the good information
What if I place a sheet over the bag, will it still cause sweating?
As the reply below... a sheet may not be thick enough to prevent sweating and it definitely depends on the individual patient - some perspire a lot and others not so much. Individualize the patient's care.
CARE IS TREATMENT - now go buy our $5 booklet and you will have all the answers to managment of the main symptoms for a patient in bed. Thanks again! Nancy
Also.you can raise the foot of the bed an let gravity do the work for you
You’re right but that’s already in our other lengthy video about how to move a patient up in bed. Check that one out too and thanks for your comments and good care. Please go to our website www.thecareplan.net for lots more information and support. Thank you very much

Yes, thank you we knew that I had to have it at a better angle to show the video. Best wishes in your caregiving. Had to our website www.thecareplan.net and pick up our booklet to learn how to manage all the major symptoms that arise for a patient in bed. Care is treatment. Thanks.
