As we mentioned earlier, assisted living homes are intended for seniors who are generally able to care for themselves, but need occasional assistance. Seniors who use wheelchairs, but are able to move back and forth from their chair alone are good candidates for assisted living.
Since most patient lift manufacturers strongly recommend two trained caregivers be present during transfer, a home care CNA and a family caregiver together can sometimes do the hoyer transfer working together. However the family caregiver should be trained in the use of the lift to prevent patient falls or injury.
Hoyer lifts usually require a two person assist. Look for physicians' orders for a two person assist for a resident. The common reason for violation of the physician's order is that a second staff member was not available because they were at lunch or busy elsewhere.
In many cases, communities can handle a resident who needs the help of one person to get up, but when two people are needed, a Hoyer Lift is often used instead.

Hoyer Lift: Designed for patients who cannot stand and require full support during transfers. Sit-to-Stand Lift: Ideal for patients who have some mobility and can partially support their own weight, aiding them in moving from sitting to standing.
Do you need a doctor's order to use a Hoyer lift? To qualify, you'll need to meet face to face with your doctor and have them fill out and sign an order for the supplier.
