Hi , sorry to hear about your mum - can really quite relate to some of the side effects of chemotherapy.
My wife did manage to get a bed rail, a stair banister, grab handles in the shower and a raised toilet seat when she was released from hospital some years ago.
This page from the NHS talks about Household gadgets and equipment to make life easier including bed rails.
Back pain I can very much relate to as I have a kind of arthritis in my spine - now almost ever room in our house has a reacher/litter picker as otherwise things that are dropped on the floor are going stay on the floor.
<<hugs>>
