I agree with Jan,  It cannot be total unless all transfers in the 7 day window are totals.  Since it is not total with therapy, the correct response would be extensive assistance.  The manual describes Total dependence as "Full staff performance of the activity during entire seven-day period."
Your resident does not fit this profile.

Subject: How do you code this? TRANSFER

Hi everyone!
I have a resident that use a hoyer lift from bed to wheelchair but therapist let her stand from her wheelchair for at least 30 secs.  That's all she can tolerate right now.
It looks  as total assist than an extensive assist but just want to make sure. Thansk for all your response.
