Due to financial constraints, many care providers are attempting to reduce care packages in the community. This presentation will discuss the factors involved in deciding the number of carers required when using a variety of equipment to assist in transfers in a person’s own home, or a residential setting. The level of functioning required will be identified, as will environmental and othr factors. Reasons for varying ability will be discussed, and methods of coping with these and other problems suggested.
