My sister, 75 years of age, is in a care home and on two separate occasions (approx. 6 weeks apart) has been found laying on the floor by her bed It is not known whether or not she fell from the bed, got out of bed and stumbled/tripped and fell or got up from the bed and perhaps had a small TIA or similar. Fortunately , on neither occasion did she sustain any significant injury beyond bruising /grazing. I asked the home to ensure railings were put on the bed but to my surprise , they said that this was not permitted because it represented a deprivation of liberty. Their solution was to lower the bed to floor level which frankly, I find degrading for her
Is this attitude/solution "standard practice" in Care homes ?
