Assisting Fallen Person
Terry and myself, we all are going for a little walk, after a short period of time Terry starts to feel a little bit under the weather. He starts to crumble, so what I am doing, I am actually just guiding him gently to the floor, letting him go against my leg, controlling him, cone his head so he doesn't bang his head on the floor. Now, what we need to do with Terry is, we need to make sure he's okay. We can give Terry a little bit of time to regain what's going on. He is a film score of four to three, so the level of independence is, it might be some prompting from myself and some time to get stuff in place to help him to get back up. But initially we going to spend some time here until Terry lets me know that he is okay and ready to go. For example, there could be a five-minute, 10-minute time lapse. Now Terry is informing me, "Yeah, I am feeling okay." Yeah, so I am getting the agreement from Terry. "You feel like you are ready to get up Terry?" Okay. What we need to do now is plan how we are going to get Terry up. The best way is the four-point contact, so knees, then the hands and then we will bring a chair in, which then Terry can use the chair to help himself up. And once he is up, we will sit Terry on the chair and then again, depending on how long it takes, could be five, 10, 15 minutes for Terry to regain himself ready to stand and then carry on to where we were going. I am just going to get ready, I am going to bring a chair in. And what I am going to ask Terry to do, is Terry we need to roll over onto our knees. So we are going to roll to your left hand side. Okay, I'll be next to you in case you need my help, but try and roll over onto your knees and then bring yourself up onto your hands and knees and then I am going to bring a chair in to help you. "Have we got that?" Yeah, brilliant, fantastic. When you are ready in your time, okay, if you want to start rolling yourself over onto your knees. Okay, that's brilliant work. That's brilliant. You are doing very well, Terry. That's fantastic. He's pulled himself up onto his hands and knees and I am going to bring a chair in. What's your dominant side as well? You are right-handed? Fantastic. Can you bring your right leg up? Brilliant. So other hand on the chair for me and then when you already give yourself a boost up. That's brilliant. And when you ready turn yourself around and then sit yourself down in the chair. That's brilliant. Well done, Terry. Okay, now we will just wait for a little bit and you have tell me you are okay and ready to go. And then we will carry on, moving on. Once again, time has elapsed and this will be the same as encouraging someone from seated to standing.
Guidance on Assisting a Person Who Feels Unwell During a Walk
This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to safely assist someone, like Terry in our example, who begins to feel unwell during a walk.
Initial Response to Discomfort
When someone starts feeling unwell:
- Gently guide them to the ground, ensuring their head is protected.
- Allow them time to regain composure, monitoring their condition.
Assessing the Situation
Assess the person's level of independence and determine the level of assistance required. Wait until they indicate they are ready to move.
Planning to Help the Person Stand Up
When the person feels ready to get up, follow these steps:
- Prepare a four-point contact approach using knees and hands.
- Bring in a chair for additional support.
- Allow the person to sit on the chair until they feel steady enough to stand.
Assisting in Standing Up
Guide the person to:
- Roll onto their knees.
- Use their dominant side to bring up a leg.
- Place a hand on the chair and boost themselves up.
- Turn and sit down in the chair.
Post-Assistance Monitoring
After the person is seated, wait until they confirm they are ready to continue. This period can vary depending on their recovery time.
Encouraging Independence
Support the person in regaining independence, respecting their pace and comfort level, and providing assistance as needed.
