Securing the wheelchair during transfers

A chain to attach the wheelchair to the bed frame makes transfers safer

Description
A chain is attached to the bed frame by a hook. During transfers the user attaches the wheelchair frame with the chain so it does not roll away (photos 1 - 3). She uses the same solution for transfers to the shower stool; she attaches the chain to the wheelchair wheel (photo 4).
