Care plans that show exactly how the task should be completed.

Start with a clear structure. Finish with the individual assessment.
These templates demonstrate what a useful moving & handling plan should cover. They are not universal instructions and must be adapted to the person, exact equipment and local arrangements.
Single-handed hoist care plan
Full-body hoist transfer with named hoist, sling, attachment setup, positioning, stop criteria and review triggers.
Sara Stedy / TA180-type plan
For assessed standing transfers where weight bearing, trunk control, cognition and endurance support active participation.
Bed mobility & repositioning plan
Rolling, repositioning, profiling, slide-sheet use and active participation with clear pressure-area and fatigue considerations.
General transfer aid plan
For turn aids, boards and low-friction equipment where a named aid supports the specific assessed task and surfaces.
See how a handling plan becomes a movement sequence.
This stylised animation demonstrates the logic of an assessed transfer. It deliberately avoids showing one universal technique.
Observe participation, weight bearing, pain, cognition, fatigue and the real transfer environment.
Need a plan written for a specific person and exact equipment?
Templates are useful structure. A safe operational plan comes from individual assessment, named equipment and a technique that works in the real care environment.
