Does anyone ever transport their senior loved one from one bedroom of the house to another bedroom? No wheelchair will work. She's bedbound.

Its been 2 weeks. Were you able to figure something out?

You state that she's been in bed for a year. Am I correct in assuming it's a hospital bed? If it's not then I can't imagine how it's even possible to do her personal hygiene care and toileting needs. It isn't safe for her or a caregiver to even try to attempt care unless the bed can be raised and lowered and adjusted as needed. If you can't use a wheelchair for her and she isn't in a hospital bed with wheels that can be transferred in or out of the room, what will you do if there's an emergency? Please get her a hospital bed and just pay for a gurney. Think of it as an investment in case you ever have evacuate the house in the event of a fire or some other type of emergency situation.
If she's in a regular twin-bed get a few strong people and have them carry her into the other room on the mattress. Please have an actual hospital bed waiting for her in the new bedroom. You can also try what cwillie suggested and roll her onto a sturdy blanket and have a few strong people transfer that way.

u could probably find a rolling bed or couch with wheels something. u should find your mom a good physical therapist and a nutritionist. once u stay in those position its tough to come out of. she needs to walk and exercise. its sad.

As a former 911 Fire Dispatcher, my advice is for you to look up the Fire Department online, get the name of the Battalion Chief. And call him directly, or call and ask for him specifically to return your call.

I realize they haven't returned your call from before, but you'll be calling a different number to reach the BC. He's your best hope.

Do you personally know any EMT's or firefighters? My brother is an EMT and could use his skills to move your mom-if we lived near each other.

I am not sure if he could borrow a gurney--they are pretty big and bulky, but there could be ways to move mom without too much drama. Professionals have all kinds of tricks up their sleeves. CWillie mentions one--would that be too painful for mom?

Dad was totally 'frozen', due to Parkinson's and YB was able to move him. I'd give it a shot.

Roll her on to a sturdy blanket and with four strong men or women at each corner you should be able to lift and carry her a short distance. Practice first on a volunteer.

Try the Firehouse again. Ask if you can just borrow a gurney. Call around to NHs and ALs to see if you can borrow one. Maybe a store that sells Durable equipment can rent you one. Call a hospital.
