ABSTRACT:
A transfer aid for elderly or infirm individuals includes a selectively swingable and longitudinally extendable center frame member which provides alternate support modes. When the center frame member is secured in a vertical operational mode, a plurality of assist bars are hand reachable from a seated position for initiating a pivotal weight transfer about a footpad to effect a transition from a seated to a standing position. When the center frame is displaced to a horizontal operational mode, an auxiliary support surface is adjustably positionable and readily accessible to the seated user.
