Have you thought about getting a hospital bed? I have heard they are just wonderful for patients like your husband.

Have thought about it. Just reading about the fall mats - apparently not to be walked on. Was thinking about Bill falling at night when he makes a 'bathroom run'. But gather it could actually make him fall if he walked on it. Although one mentioned it was good with walkers - which he is now using. No idea if Medicare B covers something like that. I do think they cover shower chairs. When that option was offered to Bill some time ago he turned it down. Didn't want toilet safely standing rail either but when I added it he discovered it really helped him.

Has anyone had Medicare B cover items that help an elderly person? They did cover is fire-engine red walker with it's own seat if needed. Not sturdy enough to help him get off the floor unfortunately, even with brakes on.

I would ask his doctor what Medicare B covers because he orders these items all the time for his patients.
