EXPERT'S TIPS
Kevin Lockette, PT
Advisory Board
You, the caregiver, are just as important as the patient because if anything happens to you, everyone's in trouble. Avoid injury by following the Golden Rules. And keep in mind that it's therapeutic for the person to help as much as possible because it helps the person maintain muscle strength and mobility.

Coaching A Person


To keep you and the person you care for safe, be sure to read the 10 Golden Rules During a Transfer and seek advice from a health care professional.
