    What an introduction to Alaska....a ride in a convertible! From someone that worked 20 years in longterm care of seniors, I would consider adding grab bars for the shower area, inside. Wishing your Grandmother peace and happiness in this new chapter of her life.

      Yes! My mom is 92 and needs toilet grab bars. She uses a stand alone toilet safety rail.

    One of my biggest fears is dying alone. watching your family embrace great Grandma and make all the sacrifices and changes and accommodations just makes my heart soar for her!! TRULY a beautiful family.

    Congratulations on the safe arrival of your grandmother! She looks so excited to be with all of you. One suggestion for you would be to use a transfer belt to help get her in/out of cars, wheelchair, chair, bed - anything she is going up and down into. It helps you have a safer grip on her when she’s moving from one place to another. It was a God send to have with both of my parents at that age. I’m so happy she’s made the move to Alaska safely.

      Ask a healthcare worker to give a tutorial on how to do it especially for baths,and in and out of chairs. Or go to retirement home there and ask.

    Very glad the trip went well. I'm assuming time zone difference and a couple days to acclimate will happen.
    I am surprised no grab bar at 45 degree angle on long shower wall.
    The high back chair with or without wheels work great and a grab bar toilet seat with cushion to avoid fracture.
    I guess you don't have services their that can come out to provide great tips.
    It's going to be wonderful for the kids to learn much from her. Many stories and memories to share.
    Take care and thanks for sharing.

    Welcome to Alaska Grandma! A convertible looks good on you! ☺️ Just a thought, grandma might benefit from a toilet lift so she doesn’t have to go so low on the seat! They also have them with handles that would help her as well! Love seeing the kids flourish in all their activities.

    Bert, in transferring grandma..have her give you a hug around your neck and you will have to lean down and then lift with your knees and pivot. that'll save your back and grandma hugs are always needed:) You guys rock! Worked with handicapped for 15 years as an aide and then as a nurse. Best work ever!

    Welcome home Grandma.
    I do have trouble getting around. I use a walker. The only thing I noticed is that you don't have a grabbar in the shower. I could not tell by the picture, but I do hope that the toilet is a handicapped (higher) toilet.
    I love your family and enjoy watching every time you upload. Thanks.

  • @joseluiscastillo6170

    You definitely need grab bars in several locations in bathroom. They make transfer boards as well as grabbers that can connect onto car doors to help with transferring. I have taken care of 2 elderly parents and wheelchair confined child over the past 35 years, also I am retired nurse.

    They are teaching CPR with rescue breathing? That's awesome! This "compression" only thing does not make sense to me, of course, it's been 30 years since I was an EMT. The AED is awesome! I was at an event somewhere and the guy running it was also a professor of paramedicine (paramedics). The pulled out the AED trainer unit, and handed it to a 12 year old who had never seen one. Following the voice prompts, he was able to set it up and deliver the first shock in under 1 minute. That is HUGE! If you (anyone reading this) somewhere and see someone go down, and there is an AED on the wall on no one else around, don't hesitate for a second to grab it and go to town! It will only shock if a shock is warranted.

    I'm in Ohio and my grandma moved here from Florida when she was 82 and in a wheelchair. She loved being around family, but she did not love the winters. Obviously she didn't have to go out in the cold very often (dr appts ect) and sometimes would watch the snow from the window. We had her home with us for 7 yrs before she passed and it was the best 7 yrs !!
