Mobility, transfers and walking assistance

Getting around, standing up, walking

Standing up, sitting down, taking three steps: when those become uncertain, the whole of a person’s independence rests on them.

For you, or for someone you love

A badly done transfer injures two people: the one being helped and the one helping. A provider trained in transfers knows the holds, the supports and the pace, and spots a loss of strength before the fall. Morning and evening visits are the most requested, and the ones that book furthest ahead.

Do you offer this service?

Mobility assistance asks for technique more than for a diploma: personal support training, experience in a CHSLD or a residence, safe-handling principles. Morning and evening visits frame a day well and renew every week.
