Hello everyone,
My husband has ALS (was diagnosed April 2010) The disease is progressing to the poiint that he is in a power wheel chair and has great difficulty transferring from chair to bed. etc.
We attend clinic and the doc there has given me a script for a fully electric hospital bed with alternating pressurepoint mattress. My issues is: they have not specified what brand, what model. We are also a client with the VA and I would like to give them as much direction so that my husband gets what he needs. This would include me going to the VA with a picture, model # you get the drift.
I need sage advice from the wonderful people on this site as to what bed works for their loved ones. I am out of my league here as far as expertise goes.
Would you all please HELP!
caretaker advice NEEDED!
