Hi Julie @billchitwood I am sad to read of your current challenge. I fully understand what works for one person and their loved one might not work for others, but here is what I did at that stage. I rearranged our bedroom and added a hospital bed. The railings helped me be more comfortable at night knowing my wife wouldn't thrash herself out of her side of our bed. An additional benefit was the ratings help provide me a non-vision impairing barrier for those grabbing situations. My wife quickly began to grab the rails first rather than my arms right away.

As I said...just what worked for us.

Strength, Courage, & Peace

Our doctor has been trying to talk Bill into it but so far no luck. he might change his mind now. Or at least give it some consideration. Thank you for the information.
