We are looking at commode options for some one that cannot make it from their chair to the restroom in time before the bowel movement happens. The bedside commode seems like a good solution. Will this work for someone that is close to 300lbs?
Thank you for the video. You are very informative. Where can I find a bedside commode like this but the legs height is around 16 inches for my mother. Thank you.
I’ve reviewed all the padded commodes that I’m familiar with and unfortunately the lowest seat height I can find is 18” when the seat is padded like in this video.
Noticed at the 2:11 mark with the set up over the toilet. You placed the bucket inside the toilet bowl. Couldn't one just do their business then flush? Thanks, love your videos, very helpful.
I’ll be going in for total hip replacement surgery on my left hip in one week. Looking into this bedside commode I presume it does also work over a standard toilet? And regarding the drop-down arm, does it only drop down on one side or both?
I have a question - I am caring for my mother at home and would really like the features you describe on the drop arm commode. I would, however, like to also have it on wheels so that I can wheel her into the shower from her bedroom. The Drive Medical shower/commode combo doesn't look as though you can remove the seat and turn the opening. Is there any way to add casters to the commode you are demonstrating?
I’ve never seen that done with a standard drop arm variety, but there are other shower commode options that would give you flexible seating and the rolling option. They are more expensive, but can occasionally be found used if you know what to look for. I love the Raz brand, this is the one I’ve used quite a bit: www.medicaleshop.com/raz-design-ap-rehab-shower-commode-chair.html?source=ppc&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzYGGBhCTARIsAHdMTQxPFv6fWUat_1GcIjMmh5MoFw-Rv1yjtG4EvfTwNXFUmtP1xl8FNP8aAr_7EALw_wcB
