[quote=Anonymous]My mom had an adjustable bed, so we didn't use a hospital bed but it was KEY that she could elevate her head at times, and her feet at other times. Having the elevated head also helped us when we wanted to move her out of bed. She also used their lazy boy recliner to sleep in a fair bit, with travel neck pillow, which was really comfortable for her. Hospice provided a hospital chair (similar but less comfortable than a recliner, feet and head are adjustable), a height adjustable food tray I believe, and a wheelchair too. My sister did a lot of research before - make sure you know what happens when the time comes, and have plans with a funeral home or similar. We used Direct Cremation in Chantilly, they came and picked her up at 11pm and were so kind and respectful. My sister even knew to have many people (dad) leave the home so they didn't have to see her taken away. That was good.[/quote]
