Do you mind saying how large he is? My Dad is very large over 6 feet and over 230 pounds. I can’t imagine transferring him with a device. Maybe, it’s a matter of training with the equipment.

Also, does he feel comfortable being transferred that way?

I am a retired/disabled 66 yr old woman who will be facing this challenge before long. I try to take one day/time & remember basic body mechanics. My suggestion, to you is to have an in-home Physical Therapist to come in & teach you how to maneuver him correctly. At the same time, they can assess your strength to determine if you need more help. My biggest suggestion is to make sure you put a draw sheet under him. This will help you immensely. Does he have an adjustable (hospital) bed? That is essential. You can then use the bed to help you move him up in bed, to sit him up and to reposition him. Hospice Nurses should be able to teach you a few “tricks of the trade”, too! Ask!!!!! 🤗 I wish you well.
