Stander BedCaddie, Bed Ladder Assist Handle, Sit Up Helper with Adjustable Length for Elderly, Handicapped, and Injured

I bought this for my 90 year old grandpa. He's had some medical problems and surgeries that have weakened his core muscles. The way he was getting out of bed looked pretty unsafe--wrenching his upper body around to push up on his nightstand, often falling back and having to try again. His shoulder and arm muscles are still strong, and that's an important thing to keep in mind for using this product. I looked at bedside walker models but those are meant to go under a box spring and grandpa's bed is just a mattress on a slat foundation. So I decided to try this one and not only is it a lot cheaper, but it works really well. Installation was super easy on grandpa's metal bed frame, if you have a bed with a footboard, it might be harder to get it clipped in. Since it's a twin bed, I stuck an adhesive hook to the side of the bedframe and hung the rope ladder within Grandpa's reach--that way it's not taking up room in his bed. Grandpa's review is that it is "life-changing." Getting out of bed is easier and less painful.

Had the product a few months now. A worthwhile investment, big help getting in and out of bed. Easy install as well. Vendor was prompt, received product 3 business days.

very useful

This ladder was well made and easy use. Good item for price. But did not work well for handicapped person. Was able to sit up easy with this but then the ladder got in the way for him to try to turn and get out of bed. Returned

After a knee replacement, this has been an invaluable tool to assist me with not only sitting up in bed, but in helping me to lay down. Very easy to attach to the wood footboard of my bed , the length was also easily adjustable.
