Transfer Assistance

Under our enhanced assisted living license, CVSC's licensed staff can provide transfer and ambulation assistance for residents requiring chronic 1 and 2 person assistance.

Transfer and Ambulation Assistance

Although everyone may require a little help getting up and moving around from time to time, when it shifts to the realm of needing help every time, residents are able to receive enhanced care services and our licensed staff will provide transfer and/or ambulation assistance.

Enhanced care for transfer assistance would apply to individuals who are chronically chair fast and unable to transfer independently as well as individuals who chronically require one or two people to assist with transferring or ambulating.

Enhanced Services for the Short Term

One benefit of an enhanced assisted living community is the ability to utilize enhanced care services for shorter periods of time such as when recovering from an injury or illness. In situations where an individual has a medical event that may include an extended hospital stay, the resident may need transfer and ambulation assistance temporarily when returning to CVSC and until he or she is able to get stronger and return to his or her baseline.

Considerations for Chronic 2-Person Assistance

In situations where an individual seeking admission requires chronic 2-person transfer and ambulation assistance, and it is permanent and for the long term, that individual may be best suited for a skilled nursing facility where he or she can benefit from Hoyer lifts and other equipment measures.
