Beasy Transfer Boards: A Simple Solution for Safer Transfers
Share
About 36 million falls are reported among older adults each year, resulting in more than 30,000 deaths. Every year, over 3 million older adults are treated in the nation's emergency rooms for a fall-related injury. One out of five falls causes an injury such as a fracture or head injury.
Falls are a leading cause of injury, especially among seniors and individuals with mobility challenges. But what if there was a simple, cost-effective tool that could significantly reduce the risk of falls during transfers? Enter Beasy Transfer Boards.

Beasy Transfer Boards are assistive devices designed to help individuals move safely and independently between two seated surfaces. They are often used for transfers to and from wheelchairs, beds, chairs, toilets, and car seats.
How do they work?
These boards feature a unique, patented design with a curved surface that facilitates a smooth, gliding motion. This eliminates the need for lifting, reducing strain on both the individual and the caregiver. The user essentially slides across the board, minimizing the risk of falls associated with standing up or shifting weight.
Benefits of using Beasy Transfer Boards:
- Reduced Fall Risk: The primary benefit is a significant reduction in fall risk during transfers.
- Increased Independence: By facilitating easier transfers, Beasy Boards empower individuals to perform daily tasks with greater independence.
- Reduced Strain for Caregivers: The sliding motion minimizes the need for caregivers to lift or support the individual's full weight, reducing the risk of back injuries.
- Versatility: Beasy Transfer Boards are available in various sizes and styles to accommodate different needs and transfer situations.
- Durability: Made from high-quality materials, these boards are built to last.
Who can benefit from Beasy Transfer Boards?
- Seniors
- Individuals with mobility impairments
- People recovering from surgery or injury
- Caregivers
How to use a Beasy Transfer Board:
- Position the board: Place the board securely between the two surfaces, ensuring it's centered and stable.
- Ensure proper posture: The user should sit on the edge of the starting surface with their feet flat on the floor.
- Begin the transfer: Using their arms for support, the user slides across the board to the desired surface.
- Remove the board: Once the transfer is complete, carefully remove the board.
The Beasy line is an essential tool that any family caregiver can benefit from.
