[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People fall in facilities all the time. I am not sure why people think they are so safe.[/quote] Because in a facility, if you fall, there is someone around to help. It doesn't happen at 8pm and you have to wait until 8am when your nursing staff for the day arrives (at home situation). My parents are in IL in a CCRC, and they are required to wear their "pagers/beepers" with an emergency button. It works anywhere on campus, including outside 1 mile from the main building. You push it, someone is to your location in 5 mins. You push it from inside your apartment, and they are there faster and assist with what needs to happen. Have to imagine in a AL/Memory care, they are checking on patients much more frequently. [/quote]
