Buyer’s Guide: How to Select the Best Bedside Commode for Seniors

For someone who spends a significant amount of time in bed and is weak or unsteady, a bedside commode reduces the risk of a fall on the way to or in the bathroom. Most falls occur in the home, enough of them in the bathroom to warrant special considerations like not using the bathroom without someone being there for assistance. By using a freestanding toilet chair near the bed, users don’t have far to go to accomplish their personal toileting.

A bedside commode – also known as a commode chair, a toilet chair, or a portable toilet – is similar in appearance to a chair or bench. Set up near a bed for convenience, this device has an opening in the seat where urine and feces are collected in a detachable basin that is emptied after use.

For anyone at high risk for a fall on the way to or in the bathroom, whether they are recovering from a short-term injury or are facing permanent mobility issues, a bedside commode makes toileting easier and safer. Getting up and out of bed can help prevent pressure sores from developing, making a bedside commode preferable than a bedpan. Since a bedside commode can often be used without assistance, this device allows people more independence while managing their own personal care activities.
