Good article, important and valuable. As long involved family member, I also learned more about what physical conditions are easier or more difficult for my disabled brother with his brain injury. So, when staff call to tell me he had a fall, they emphasize his health status after the fall, but I continuously redirect them to ask, what was he trying to do, when he fell? Where was he walking to? Was he trying to turn? what shoes was he wearing? By taking note of these details - I try to consider any safe setup needs for him to stay upright in following days, not just understand what was the impact of his fall.
