In this episode, OT Kate Silvy shares how to make safe, functional transfers possible — even in the most limited home environments.

From stand transfers to sling selection, Kate explains how OTs can balance client independence with carer safety while navigating small bathrooms, bedrooms, and doorways that weren’t built for mobility aids.

She also discusses:

◑ Assessing transfer risks in confined spaces

◑ Choosing the right sling and hoist combination

◑ Training clients and carers for safe, confident handling

◑ When to adapt the environment vs change the technique
