Hi,
My husband fell out of his wheelchair in his NH on Christmas day: the brakes were not applied. I have asked the home for their incident report but this has not been forthcoming. I want to know what action has been taken and am at a loss where to turn next. I told the commissioners yesterday, but again haven't had any feedback.
This is one of many serious incidents recently his ankle is already in plaster from one of these!! My concern for his safety is so worrying it is making me ill.
His behaviour is challenging at times and it would be difficult to find somewhere else to accept him. It is all such a dilemma.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Maggie
