She can barely stand on her feet even with a walker. When she is sitting on the side of her bed her dresser is about 6' away and it is difficult for her to get her clothes out. I am trying to think of something to put closer to her bed that I could put a change of clothes such as panties, gown, housecoat and the pads she uses. I live with my mother but I still work. She has a sitter for 7 hours each day. So, there are a few hours each day that she is alone, and sometimes she needs to change clothes so that's why I am trying to think of ways that she can sit on her bed but still reach a change of clothes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Jeanne's suggestion of an over-bed table on wheels is a great one. We have one for mom. I can't begin to tell you how handy it is.
If she spends most of her time in bed, an over-bed table on wheels (like they use with hospital beds) is a nice way to keep items close at hand. An iced beverage, a change of clothes, a tissue box, the day's newspaper -- anything she might need access to.
