My father in law is now 100% wheelchair. His legs have totally given out. His walker days are over.

I need very basic detailed questions answered.

How does he get in and out of bed?
How does he use the washroom?
My mom in law and my father in law don't talk openly about these "private" issues and they do not have a caregiver helping them out.

Thanks!

your father-in-law requires a occupational therapist's home assessment for a mechanical lifts and toileting/hygiene needs in the home environment!
