If you or a loved one has a hard time sitting up or getting out of bed you know that it can be a big blow to a person’s independence.
Needing help to sit up or stand when getting out of bed can happen for many different reasons. Some people might be suffering from an injury. Other people might be recovering from a surgery, which is what happened to me. Still, other people might be getting a little older and aren’t as strong and steady as they used to be.
Perhaps even more worrisome than struggling to sit up or stand when getting out of bed, is worrying about yourself or a loved one being injured falling out of bed. The risks associated with falling out of bed can often be even greater for seniors – especially if they are living alone.
Luckily, you can add a bed rail to your bed at home to help give your bed some of the functionality of a hospital bed so you can regain or keep your independence and stay safe.
