Research Notes on Caregiving for the Bedridden
If you have a loved one who is bedridden it's inconvenient to say the least. For the patient it can be somewhat daunting to always call upon another when in need of something that is only slightly out of reach. Keeping things at a distance easily reached by the bedridden person will help quite a bit. Use the headboard to place things within reach or pull up a night stand or table. It helps to set up a two-way monitor that works like a walkie-talkie, or simply use a bell for calling help.
