Making Daily Movement Safer and Easier

As a parent of a child or young adult with mobility challenges, your strength is tested daily. You lift, reposition, and transfer your child with love, but the physical toll is immense. Worrying about your strength or the risk of an accidental fall adds another layer of stress to your day.

Services Offered From Above (SOFA) is here to provide relief with professional child transfer assistance. Our licensed caregivers are trained in proper body mechanics and safe transfer techniques. We provide a reliable, expert presence in your home to make daily routines smoother and significantly safer for you and your child.

We offer the strength you need so you can focus on simply being a parent.

Skilled and Gentle Child Transfer Assistance

Every child’s level of mobility is different. For this reason, our child transfer assistance is a hands-on service developed to meet your child’s specific mobility needs.

Safe mobility support is a skill that requires strength, patience, technique, and trust. Our licensed professionals are experts in body mechanics and safe lifting protocols and are trained to perform transfers with precision and compassion. While moving your child, they’ll talk to them the whole time to ensure they feel safe.

Before performing any transfer, our caregivers assess the situation to ensure a clear path and stable surfaces. Whether your child can partially assist in the transfer, requires a complete lift, or uses adaptive equipment, our caregivers are prepared. They’re also experienced in using assistive devices like Hoyer lifts, slide boards, and gait belts.
This careful, professional approach lowers the risk of accidents and offers a level of security that allows you and your child to feel at ease during daily routines.

Want to ensure your child’s handled with the highest level of care and safety? Contact us today to learn more.

Safe child transfer and mobility support is about empowering your child. Our caregivers are a proactive presence in your home, anticipating mobility needs and helping to prevent accidents before they happen.

Supporting Therapeutic Goals Through Proper Positioning

Mobility support is critical for your child’s long-term health.

How your child is moved and positioned throughout the day directly impacts their comfort, health, and ability to participate in other activities. Regular movement helps prevent serious complications like pressure ulcers, muscle stiffness, and poor circulation.
Our caregivers understand this connection and provide support that aligns with your child’s therapeutic goals.

They can help with at-home therapy exercises by ensuring your child is safely and correctly positioned in standers, gait trainers, or other prescribed equipment. This collaboration with your child’s therapists helps reinforce their hard work, making sure the benefits of their therapy sessions continue at home.

We become an extension of your care team, providing the consistent, hands-on support needed to help your child achieve their best possible outcomes.

Let’s Talk

How does transfer assistance protect me, the parent?

Improper lifting is a leading cause of chronic back pain and injury for caregivers. By having a professional handle the transfers, you protect your body from the daily strain. This allows you to preserve your health and have more energy for other aspects of care.

How does professional transfer assistance prevent injuries to my child and the caregiver?

Our caregivers use proper body mechanics, leverage, safe transfer techniques, and assistive tools to minimize strain.

They know how to position themselves and your child to create a stable and secure lift, which prevents the twists, jerks, and falls that can cause injury.
They’ll also assess each situation to determine the safest method and request assistance if needed.

Safety for everyone involved is our top priority.

Can this service help my child become more independent?

Absolutely. Safe and consistent transfer assistance can help a child build confidence in their mobility. It allows them to safely practice movements and participate more actively in their daily routines, a major component of fostering independence.

Can this service help my child participate more in daily activities?

Yes. When transfers are safe and easy, moving your child to the dinner table, outside to the porch, or to a play area becomes less of an obstacle. This increased mobility is central to a more engaged and stimulating life.

Can this service help my child get to doctor’s appointments?

Yes, our caregivers can assist with transferring your child into and out of a non-emergency vehicle, making it easier for you to manage appointments and outings.

How is child transfer assistance funded?

For families who qualify, our services are fully covered by Medicaid through the Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP).
If your child is under 21 and requires assistance with daily activities due to a medical condition, they may be eligible for our help at no out-of-pocket cost.
