Abstract
A bed access apparatus for use with a wide variety of bed designs, that includes a structural framework having floor anchor plates that rest upon the supporting floor surface. The bed rests on top of the anchor plates so that the apparatus is stabilized by the bed. An outrigger bar extends generally laterally to overhead connecting bars that extend the length of the bed, and the outrigger bar is spaced above the overhead bars in order to provide a raised handhold that extends out over the side of the bed.
