I was researching injuries during transfer and I came across these interesting training videos created for in service training of nursing home staff.  Many preventable injuries occur from improper transfer of nursing home residents.   Usually due to understaffing, lack of training or inadequate equipment.   Falls are one of the leading causes of death of the elderly and every effort should be made to avoid falling.   Falls also lead to other conditions such as bed sores from inactivity and in some cases pneumonia.
