Question for Katie:
Is there a product
that fits between couch cushions that would provide a stable handrail to
help someone get up?
The thing about
"handles" between cushions on a couch is the need for stabilization. Handles would work while seated but get
wobbly as someone stood up.
I checked my personal
resources and they said it would be hard to do. The
recommendation I would make would be to purchase a chair that helps a
seated person stand up. The Lift chairs have a button and a motor
to help a person stand up. These chairs start at $600 but
can give a person needing
the ability a sense of independence. Call your local medical suppler. Medi-Equip, at Manchester & HWY 270
in St. Louis,
carries a cool selection.
314-965-9300. Tell them Katie sent you!
Medicare will typically help with a small reimbursement for the motor. I
wish there was a less expensive way but I hope this helps.
Thanks for your question & visiting our site!
