We tried the alarm, both wireless and otherwise. It scares her but doesn't keep her from getting up. She has 24hr/day care, but there are times you have to leave the room and when you do she gets right up. No matter how many times you tell her to use the walker or not get up at all, she does. Does anyone know of something we can use to keep her from getting up without literally tying her to the chair? I would like to maintain her dignity. Thank you.
Does your grandmother not have any issues with getting up out of the chair? It takes mom so long to get up (we let her do it on her own as much as possible) that we are usually back in the room before she's able to get up. We have to remind her to skootch forward and put her feet under her knees and push up using the arms. So it takes her a while, but she does it and that's good. Not looking forward to the day when she can no longer get up under her own power.
I didn't realize they made trays for different types of chairs besides wheelchairs. I will have to look into that.
Thank you for responding to my post.
Good Luck to you.
