A method and apparatus (10, 10′″′) for holding an electrical device proximate to a side rail (20) of a bed (100). The apparatus (10, 10″′) preferably includes a first basket (12, 12″′) suitable for receiving a television control device (36). The device (36) includes a body (43) and a cord (45). The basket (12, 12″′) receives and holds the body (43) of the device (36). Preferably connected to the basket (12, 12″′) is another similar basket (14, 14″′) for receiving a call button (60). The baskets (12, 12″′) and (14, 14″′) are connected to rail clips (16, 16″′) and (22, 22″′) which act to engage the side rail (20) of the bed (100). Another apparatus (10′, 10″′) is useful for holding an electrical device proximate to the side rail (120 ) of a circle bed.
