It Was Time for Me to Buy a Lift for My Disabled Father

February 24th, 2010 by admin

My dad is a great man.  He is in the first stages of Alzheimer’s so he lives with me and my family.  The latest problem that has arisen is that he has trouble lifting his legs to get into the tub.  I started looking into disabled lifts so he would not feel so self-conscious with me helping him.  He was used to taking his bath alone.  The new lift has really brightened his spirits.  I still check on him while he is bathing, but he can get in and out for himself.  I am trying to help him retain his independence for as long as I can.
