[quote=Anonymous]The son of one of my elderly neighbors tripped walking out the door of his house and wound up dying of a brain injury. He was only in his late 60's or early 70's when it happened. Before that, he had once come to visit his 90 something year old parents and slipped and fell in the driveway. Dh had to run over there and help him back up. Falling is serious but I agree with the pp above who said that it happens as people age. Your mom's AL probably calls ambulances all the time for this reason. Once they've been taken to the hospital 'X' amount of times, it's probably recommended that the person be placed in a nursing home for a higher level of care. Just a guess.[/quote]
