Where can I buy the bed buddy?

thats a good idea, thank you.

Mexicoo, try the Salvation Army and the Goodwill. Bet you find a bunch of them and very cheap, too.

I found a few things on google but the cost was higher than I wanted to pay. I will keep looking.

If you google "elder bed rails" or "assist bed rails for seniors" you'll find some products. I don't see any like my mom (and formerly dad) uses, which is a sheet of wood or that slides between the mattress and is attached to the rail. It has worked very well for my folks. Actually, I did find it, it's called "Assist Rail and Bed Board".

In Gonzales Louisiana, try Joy Medical or Med Care. Any medical supplies store.

thank you freqflyer for the info, I did look there but I didnt see anything like that. I am going to google elder products next.

Near the top of this page you will see a blue heading and within that blue heading you will see "Elder Care".... move your mouse over "Elder Care" and a drop down menu will appear. You will see "Senior Care Products". Check to see if such an item is there.

If not there, Google "elder products" and you should see a variety of websites and catalogs.
