As Care Needs Change…

Residents Become Less Mobile, More Dependent, and Require More Physical Effort From Caregivers

Caregivers are expected to exert whatever physical effort is required (pushing–pulling–shoving–twisting) each time a seated person needs to be moved into position at the table.

As Care Needs Change…Navigating The Trip Zone Matters

The Trip Zone
The ‘Trip Zone‘ is the area around the front of table into which a person needing assistance must navigate. Trips and falls occur often in this area as both the senior and caregivers are expected to:
(1) shuffle sideways
(2) step backwards
(3) lean on the table
for balance as the caregiver assists an individual get seated.
Navigating the Trip Zone:
4 Person Table Arrangement
Navigating the Trip Zone:
