How Transfer Chairs Improve Caregiver Efficiency in Canadian Nursing Homes

Canada has an aging population and thus there is a greater need in nursing homes for the safe and efficient transfer of patients. Given the physical demands on caregivers, combined with the time pressures, Ergonomic Transfer Chairs are vital pieces of equipment to minimise burden and save cost. Here at Zhongshan Kandebao (KDB) Rehabilitation Equipment Co., Ltd., we have engineered top-of-the-line transfer chairs that make caregiving easy in Canadian long-term care homes.

The Challenges Faced by Canadian Nursing Home Caregivers

High probability of musculoskeletal injuries caused by the manual lifting of the patient

Unavailability of staff and the need for more rapid and safer methods of transfer

Mobility spread— From semi-mobile to total dependent residents

Infectivity control needs for surface cleanability

Key Benefits of Transfer Chairs in Nursing Homes

1. Reduces Caregiver Strain and Injury Risk

Easy gliding surface reduces pushing or pulling effort

Pivoting seats and flip back arms facilitate transitional transfers (e.g., bed to chair).

Non-flat wheels and sturdy straps allow you to easily and safely reposition and secure your child.
