[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry. My MIL had dementia and could not remember that she needed a walker. She would push it out of the way. Unfortunately she did have some terrible falls and it precipitated her passing. Her rehab care was horrible because very few places are equipped to provide rehab to someone with dementia. [/quote] Np. The reason the falls are such a big issue is that they can be deadly. I had one grandfather who broke a leg at home and that's what caused his transition to assisted living (hospital bed status) for the rest of his life. Also my great-grandmother broke her leg at an assisted living apartment and had to go into the hospital and then hospital bed assisted care. And in a group care facility, people do blame the medical care providers for people falling. Particularly if the aftermath is hard to live through and for others to watch.[/quote]
