Our residents benefit from having our trained staff available to assist with a one person assist if needed. However, if you are caregiving at home and haven't received formal training you run the risk of injuring yourself if this is not done safely. Watch the video below on how to provide safe assistance.
If you feel your loved one needs more help than you are able to safely provide, contact us to schedule a virtual tour and learn about the benefits of the Summit Pointe lifestyle. (319) 373-4242
Note: This video includes footage of mechanical transfers. Those services would be provided at a higher level of care, not Summit Pointe.
