My father's arms have failed him before his legs. Up until now he has been kind of "rolling" out of bed onto his knees and using his stronger left arm to hold on to the mattress and stand.
They recently lowered the mattress because it was too high for him to get into. This now has made it more difficult for him to get to a standing position when getting out of bed.
Does anyone know where he should go from here? Is the only option at this point a Hoyer lift?
