My grandmother has fallen twice in the past month or so. The first time she broke the vertebrae in her neck. She was getting around after despite the neck brace being a huge nuisance for her but now she is in the hospital after falling again and has broken her collar bone. It's happening mostly at night and they are saying she won't be able to go back to an assisted living center because they are not allowed to put bed rails up. It took her so long to adjust to the place she is currently at that I don't know how she will manage going to a new facility especially in the condition she is in now. As her family, can we request that bed rails be put on the bed where she is now?
This type of bed-rail, the elder wouldn't be able to get tangled up in. Some come with a cloth cover, and pockets to put the TV remote, eyeglasses, etc. Dad found the bed-rail a great help for him to get up at night if he needed to use the bathroom, as long as he used his walker.
