My mum's (91) bed is too high (an old canopy bed that was her Mum's) and now she is taking tumbles getting out to go to bathroom. She has this old rocking chair (old hard wood type that will injure even ME of I trip overt those pointy rockers, lol) nearby and the night table. I am seeking suggestions on how to downsize her bed, get a elderly-friendly nearby chair. Mum has increasing dementia and balsnce issues visa-v the lumbar region of spine and foot drop (wears a brace sometimes). She is lucky she hasn't injured herself seriously yet, but within this present configuration, it seems just a matter of time. Has part-time Home Attendant til I soon move back out to marry (I am oldest and olny son w/o support from an evil Twisted Sister fifteen years my junior); Who knew? Mum seems to have a sentimental attachment to this dangerous rocking chair. Any similar experiences? Thank you for reading this. Peace.
I suppose your mom is more attached to her items, but would she recall if another chair was placed where the rocker is located? What if the bed is moved out with a much lower frame put in it's placed. Could you say the slats were loose and had to be repaired?
