Peep tend to be weak when they leave hospital. As they have not been moving around much. When my elderly mother left hospital, a family member had to carry her up the stairs into the house.

“Peep tend to be weak when they leave hospital. As they have not been moving around much. When my elderly mother left hospital, a family member had to carry her up the stairs into the house.”

Even after so called simple same day surgery or procedures, a wheelchair, walker or someone helping the newly discharged patient from the vehicle into the home is a wise move.

When we had our home made into friendly for old goats, we had a ramp put in our carport to get up and over the 2 and half steps. Once inside we have one step from our main living area to our master Bed Room area. My wife did not want a grip handle to ease our way and up or down that step. After I did an unplanned half gainer to the carpet going up that one step, she went to Home Depot and bought a grip handle to ensure safety with even one step. It took me about 2-3 minutes to install it. No more unplanned trips over close to 4 years of use.

We installed similar grip rods on our deck pillars to go down from or up to the deck.
