[quote=Anonymous]I know this is really hard to watch. Give up on the rollators. They don’t allow them because they are dangerous to people with a fall risk as well as to the other residents. They are obligated to keep him from falling as well as inadvertently injuring their staff or other residents. Your likely only options are: - Take him for walks yourself. - Hire private aids a few hours a day to walk him. - Pay for private PT to work on walking with the walker. Medicare and insurance won’t pay for PT or OT if the patient is not progressing which it sounds like he wasn’t. If he won’t follow instructions it is also unlikely you are going to be to private pay for very long as they will also not want to be liable for him getting hurt. [/quote]
