My Mom sleeps in a chair instead of a bed. Is she required to have a bed in her room at her assisted living?
She has been sleeping in a chair at home for several years. She recently moved to a senior care/ assisted living facility. She wants to move the bed out of her room to make room for more chairs for visitors.
No that would violate the state health dept. regulations. We got mom a hospital bed to sleep in, because she likes her head elevated at about a 45 degree angle and the feet slightly up to improve circulation. When she is not sleeping, we flatten it, lower it and use it as a couch. If there are more than 3 visitors we relocate to a lounge with real sofas.
