ABSTRACT:
A bedside commode apparatus which is removably attachable to a bed of a patient includes a base portion and a framework structure having at least one vertical support member fixedly attached to the base portion and extending upward therefrom. The framework structure includes at least one extension arm attached to an upper portion of the at least one vertical support member and extends horizontally outward toward the bed, where the at least one extension arm is configured to extend over a top surface of the bed. Also included is a bedpan to receive human waste and a bedpan support platform to releasably secure the bedpan, where the bedpan support platform is movably attached to the framework structure and is configured to move along the at least one vertical support member from a non-use position disposed toward the base portion, to a patient-use position disposed toward an end portion of the at least one extension arm. A drive motor is selectively energized by the patient to reciprocally displace the bedpan support platform and the bedpan along the at least one vertical support member and along the at least one extension arm between the non-use position and the patient-use position.
