    We have three overhead tracks for my sling- one in bedroom, one in bathroom, and one above a recliner in living room.  They were professionally installed although my spouse measured and marked the ideal places on the ceiling where tracks would be installed.  They are great and super functional – providing safe transfers and reducing stress on caregiver’s backs.

  • Hi Steve,

    it took me three mattresses until I slept comfortably.  I’m using an alternating air flow mattress, provided by our hospital bed vendor. It cost approx $1000… worth it now that I’m sleeping better with only 1-2 turns p/nigh5.

  • Hi

    Although I haven’t lost my speech yet, I’m using an IPad/iPhone app called Speech Assist AAC. It has been very easy to use and allows you to customize words, phrases and sentences.  Cost- $18 US.
