Its been over a year since I was a talking point and I guess it was because I had been in the UK sold the house and moved Mom to a better home and everything was settled and although she was getting much worse I felt things were the best they could be and her home was just right for her . Now my question . In April I rushed over because she had had a very bad fall out of her bed requiring many stitiches then got a lung infection and was clsoe to dying. She was placed on a low rise bed and watched then back to the home with a new low bed adn careful monitoring and I asked for a something put on the bed to keep her in. Because the home is classed as residential they are not allowed to have any restraints. The low rise bed and extra checks seemed to work for a while and her checks by carers were every hour at night or more. She cannot stand now or walk onher own and sleeps most of the day though her carers get her awake to get her to move her limbs in the day and get her up in a chair . At night it is a different story. She is restless and the falls in the last 6 weeks have started again with bruising/black eyes/grazing. She has no idea what has happened and my phone calls to her do not make any sense now as her memory has gone. The home is excellent stepped up checks etc and have now put mattresses all over her room. I think alone she is trying to get up or something and goes down right away or is crawling around/rolling around. Seditives they say will only make her more groggy in the day. They do not want that and it is not recommended. A restraint could be dangerous. I know someone cannot be there all the time in the night and wonder if other Talking Point users have had this problem. Its so good to talk again. My fear is that they will suggest a return to a clinical nursing facility if she continues ot hurt herself this way. i do not want this as they love her where she is and she is and try to do everything they can for her.
