[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Independent living and Assisted living will not take a person if they are a fall risk. One of the biggest federal/state assessments for elderly facilities is fall rate. They get dinged heavily for falls.[/quote] Yes but they wouldn't allow for bed rails. My relative was used to a king sized bed, with a rail to push herself up on. She also had trouble getting out of bed and without a bed rail wouldn't wait for an aide. So lots of falls. I understand that they don't want people caged in, but if the elderly person wants a bed rail, one should be able to be provided.[/quote] They are not allowed to use restraints and it’s considered one. Using homes lower beds close to the ground. [/quote]
