[quote=Anonymous]PP here.  I should also mention that it was never a consideration for us to ever move dad out of his house, so don't be shy to shut people down when they suggest it.  They're not in your or your loved one's shoes.  With all the accommodations that we made over the years, his house was the most comfortable place on the planet for him.

I also forgot to mention: He had a hospital bed with remote that made it move up and down.  And in the living room, he had a big Lazy-Boy type recliner that was also controlled by a remote, and moved all the way up and all the way back.

He also had an awesome hydraulic lift that would help us and caregivers move him from his wheelchair to his bed.  It was amazing.  My dad was essentially paralyzed, but the lift made his life in getting around so easy.  It was very similar to this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyAZDXg3QPA

If you need one of those lifts, don't get a manual one.  Get a power/hydraulic one.  The manual ones are incredibly difficult to use.[/quote]
