My dad has had his 3rd fall in three months. This time we found him on the floor for about 24 hours, soiled himself and was having halucinations. I had to call the ambulance and he is now on day 3 in the hospital (Really upset with me by the way!). He can no longer be by himself in Independent living. We are here in The Colony, Texas and I am looking for other care options for dad. Do you have recommendations? This in itself will kill him.
Make sure there are sufficient rails in the house and most importantly rails around the bed. Physical therapy and learning how to stand properly when getting up from a prone position
Falling is scary. I just fell yesterday and fortunately I had someone to help.
