any tips? My husband needs help with getting off the bed. He s independent after that.
Hello the community physio/occupational health team will need to do an assessment and see exactly what the problem is so that they will find a solution. ...have a chat with the GP unless you have community nurses in place they or GP can do the referral. It's amazing the bits of equipment they can bring round. ...sometimes they bring it with them so you can use it straight away.
Good luck and hope this is helpful.
