Category — Walkers and Rollators

Back up to the bed utilizing the walker or rollator (if utilizing a rollator, be sure that the breaks are in locked position) until your legs are gently touching the mattress at the center  point in the bed.  The center point refers to the point between the head and foot of the bed.

Reaching back with one or both arms, gently lower yourself and sit down at the edge of the bed.  Push walker or rollator to the side so that you can slide your legs around into sleep position. Keep walker or rollator within reach, so that it is available when you need it.

Helpful Hints: You may want to wear silken pajamas to make sliding easier.  Silky sheets are also helpful to make sliding into  resting position easier.
