   You are so right about the luxury of time with the family because that is the impression I got from the resident that it was not a rush. I "think" we have to give them a 30 day notice if we want them to move. I sure wish something would happen before...

   New view to this and thank you. This whole situation is new to me. I have worked with residents that are hard to transfer but have had trained coworkers or lifting devices. At this place I have neither. Thank you

   I understand what you are saying. She sleeps in a recliner and a bed pan may be too difficult to get under her in such a small area and not really able to roll her. We were able to get her up with three people just a few minutes ago. Being the nurse ...
