Using a commode chair.

A commode chair is like a chair with a toilet seat attached and is very useful for people who can't get to the toilet quickly or easily enough.

The commode chair should be sturdy and have arms for the person to use when standing up.

Most bedside commodes are adjustable as to height. Some have collapsible arms that help when transferring someone who is unable to stand or is wheelchair bound.

The commode chair can be used at night next to the bed, or to wheel the user to the toilet area.
