You don't have to bend there knees you just gently help roll them on their sides to adjust the sling properly you attach the loops and pretty much push the lift the there sitting place and lower them but it's better to use one hand on the crank and the other on the loop in the back of the sling to help put them in the chair as close to the back and up right as good as you can get it if that kinda makes sense lol sorry explaining it is harder than doing it 😂

@jasminetaylor975 yeah every person is different and physically not all are able to do what we want and able to move and roll on side when they are completely immobile and overweight Like 300lbs obesity is a big issue also trying to move these bigger clients in and out of bed to /w/chair and shower using hoyer been a challenge 🙆😅

For the sitting position, I use the loops closest to the sling for small patients. Medium second closet. And so on depending on the patient's size! Hope this helps

That’s what I was thinking because in my placement we put between legs and cross it

While quite convenient, not every home, or Facility, will receive an electric Hoyer lift. It could be an insurance decision, based on cost. So, it's better to learn how to use a manual lift.

Impractical in a home setting. These companies don't send two aides to each immobile patient for in home care. We are on our own. In a facility you'll likely have help, but I am very thankful for the proper techniques for doing it alone!
