[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Infections happen when you open skin, during an accident or surgery. Your parent’s medical team will be aware of this. Falls indicate a general decline in cognition, vision, coordination and muscle tone. It means the elder is not safe in their home. They need a complete medical check-up, mental and physical, and either a rotation of aides in their house/apartment that’s modified (walker, bars to hold, no sharp corners to hit one’s head, no rugs to trip over)… or to go to a nursing home. I don’t know why you’re focusing on infections… it’s just a tiny part of your parent’s problems.[/quote] Falls by themselves do not indicate a person should go to a nursing home. They would need to be pretty dependent for that. [/quote]
