Bedside Essentials Sheet

Keeping commonly needed items visible, reachable and reliably restocked.

A keep-close version. Read it here, or screenshot this page to have it on your phone — print and PDF copies will appear once final files are attached.

A keep-close list of what belongs within arm's reach — so the things needed most don't each cost a search, a reach or a call for help.

Within reach

  • Water or a drink
  • Medication, if appropriate and safely stored
  • Tissues
  • Phone
  • Charger
  • Glasses
  • A snack
  • Lip balm
  • Communication card or word board
  • Eye mask
  • Earplugs

For whoever's helping

Please restock

e.g. The water bottle and the snack box — whenever you pass

Please keep here

e.g. The grey tray on the left side — that's the system

Please do not move

e.g. Anything on the bed table — the placement is the system

Accessibility beats tidiness here. A surface that looks busy but works is doing its job.
