Dear All
Dad has recently been in the foetal position when we visit. Mum spoke to the manager as we are unable to communicate with the nursing staff due to lack of english!!
Dad is sitting in a very upright chair all day and only moved for meals and personal cleaning - he now rolls forward, curled up with his head on the arm of the chair - is this doing him any harm? He looks so uncomfortable and it distresses mum to see him sitting like this. She has just had put on his nursing plan for him to go to bed on a pressure mattress for 2 hours every afternoon - is this the right thing - can any one help with advice!?
I thought about getting a recliner chair - would this help?
Any advice would be really appreciated,
Love Susan
