"This has been a real help"

About: Community Occupational Therapy / Kirkcaldy & Postural Management

(as a carer),

The occupational therapy girl, Gillian, was amazing, she went through the whole house with me to asses what she could do to help my husband, who is in his late 80s and has dementia.

One of the pieces of equipment she suggested was a bed rail which enables my husband to get in and out of bed by himself.

This has been a real help as he gets up at least twice in the night and I was having to get up to assist him and I no longer have to do that. This helps me and my husband as he felt bad having to wake me up all the time.
