We are looking into setting up a separate room for my dad with a Hoyer, hospital bed, and commode. We are debating between using the living room (rearrange furniture, plenty of space, but no privacy) vs my old bedroom. The bedroom offers him privacy, but I am worried about equipment size in the room. It is decent size, about 10'x12' and the door is 30" wide door.
He currently can walk using the walker, and has a manual wheelchair. I am of course thinking ahead to when he needs a hoyer and electric wheelchair. Did anyone make it work through a 30" wide door? How difficult is it to maneuver the wheelchair through the door into a hallway? Is there anything else we should be aware of when deciding? Thanks a lot
