You need to get an overhead bed lift......my grandkids or anyone can get me up
or down with ease. Might check into your state vocation rehab to see if they
can help with new lift. My lift came with a full sling but I paid $200 bucks
out of pocket for a quick 2 piece strap set, and we get up or down very fast.
Good luck. Dan H.

At nights they switch off every other night to put me back in bed with my/our
Father.
My Mother does my personal care. Mondays & Fridays along with setting my up
for the night in bed everyday.
This has been going on for 11 years and they need a break. Actually, one
brother stopped and said no more last week.
Now, I do know this has went on too long already with them helping, but I
never changed it...now I must.
My aide that comes during the day cannot do what my brothers and Father do
because of her strength. So, I've looked into getting a male CHHA but out of
the only two agencies around me there is none. My only choice I see is an
Assisted Living Center and if I go here I don't want it to be here in New
Jersey.
May I ask you guys/gals for some suggestions? I'd love to head out to
Arizona, but I don't know how the state is towards the disabled. It seems
popular though.
