Specialist support when the handling plan is not working in real life.
Independent assessment, equipment review, rehabilitation and case-led staff support for care homes, domiciliary care, supported living and complex community packages.
Bring us in when staff need more than a generic risk assessment.
Two carers are routinely required
Review whether every task still needs two people or whether selected transfers can be redesigned safely.
The person’s mobility has changed
Deterioration, recovery, falls, hospital admission or new neurological / musculoskeletal change can invalidate an old plan.
Equipment is not working well
Hoist, sling, standing aid, bed or transfer device concerns need to be linked back to the actual task and person.
Staff are using different techniques
Variation in technique is often a sign the plan is unclear, impractical or no longer matched to the person.
Repeated falls / near misses
Review transfers, standing, toileting, bed mobility and environmental setup rather than treating incidents in isolation.
A new package needs implementation
Translate the assessment into a concise plan that frontline staff can actually use during care.
Assessment and competency should connect.
A technically correct plan is not enough if the team cannot deliver it consistently. We can support implementation using case-led instruction and competency checks linked to the individual plan.
“The best moving & handling plan is the one staff can follow consistently, the person can tolerate, and the service can safely sustain.”
