My mom has dementia 81 n I would love to take her riding more. U are much smaller than me though. Just never seems to be enough room. I was looking at the curved boards n how to position car. If we need curb or flat surface better. Really have to practice more. Mom doesn't like when we transferring her. She's very scared of falling. N she's very stiff n doesn't understand. Sometimes it's easier to get her in. I want to make it more comfortable for her. Last time we used her hoyer lift sling to slide her in n out. She can't stand due to dementia n vertigo issues for 2 years now. Thanks for your video. I think the curved board might be helpful too. We have the one like yours.

The space is tight! A curved sliding board probably is the way to go. There are also boards that have a pivoting circular plate that you put the patient on and they slide in sitting on this piece. The base of the plate fits in a slot to move laterally along the board. This is easier for larger people who cannot help much in scooting themselves along the board.

Have her hold her arms as if she is crossing them across her stomach. That way in her confusion she will not push or pull the wrong way. Do not let her put her arms around your neck as she might accidentally injure you.

I have done the sliding board car transfer from a wheelchair with a fixed armrest. It’s not easy as there is so little room to maneuver. I don’t recommend it. You really need a chair with a removable armrest to be safe for both you and your loved one.

Thanks for the clear video… bringing home a 90 year old soon, normally mobile but has spent 3 weeks in a hospital bed fighting an infection and has lost leg strength for standing… Do you think a slide board could be used to transfer from wheelchair to car with a wheelchair that has locked armrests (they don’t flip up/remove)? I haven’t had much luck figuring that out online and can’t visualize it well enough…
