i have a question about my new job in home healthcare?

when there is a patient who is a hoyer lift… are 2 aides present in that home to tranfer the patient or is ther only one?
but in a nursing home you’re suppose to have 2 people that’s why i was wondering

The whole concept of a hoyer lift is to minimize the number of people required to move a patient. So I would imagine there is only one & possibly a family member at times.
