Assistance getting up from toilet. Any suggestions?

we went to a medical supply store near us who helped a lot. We bought a unit that I think someone here stated as well, it fits over the toilet and has handles on each side. It helped my dad get up and down on his own. We also used a walker infront of him to grab onto once standing to help his balance.

As others mentioned, I would recommend a raised toilet seat with arms. Drive Medical and Carex make good ones with pads on the arms to help with comfort when getting up. If you don't want to add something to the toilet itself, you can add a grab bar/ safety bar. These come in a variety of sizes and materials to give people more options on what will work best for them.

Any suggestions of videos to help with technique? We are being challenged at the toilet helping hold up mom and at the same time pulling her pants up and down.

Why not get commode in his room, with a night light if he is still able. The fall risk is less toilet close to bed less accidents.

If you are fortunate enough to have the V.A. help they can be a great asset. When they evaluated my husband after a diagnosis of ALZ. they questioned our safety preparations in the house. They sent a safety specialist to our house to walk around and make suggestions as to how to improve the safety aspect. One suggestion was to add more safety rails in the bathroom. They sent someone out with 5 additional rails and installed 4 in the bathroom and 1 in the garage. Frankly, I was a bit upset because I thought the bathroom would look like a jungle gym but now I find that the rails have saved him several falls and I even admit to using them myself. For all the negative remarks I have heard about the V.A., I have found them great.
Good luck

Consider placing the commode over the toilet and removing the pot hence your Husband will have the use of the arms to help Him stand up, or have your Carpenter build a timber unit around the toilet to make the toilet firm and steady.
