Bed to Bedside Commode Transfer--Surprisingly Simple Stroke Care

If you decide to place a bedside commode (BSC) by the bed at night, you need to make sure your stroke survivor knows how to safely sit on the side of the bed, and maneuver to the seat of the BSC. See it here: amzn.to/3RJti5g. The transfer sounds simple but has specific steps that need to be followed to prevent a fall.
If your loved one cannot transfer alone, you need to be available to help them. There are several ways to know what they are doing. You can sleep in the same room with them. If you sleep in a different room, setup a baby video monitor so you not only hear them but can also see them. Or, use a bed alarm which will sound off if your loved one tries to get out of bed alone. Be aware, these alarms are really loud and could wake everyone in the house with heart palpitations!
You can't find a better price than this one. It is the exact same model that sells for $90-100 elsewhere. amzn.to/3RJti5g
