My mom fell 3 TIMES today and each time my brother has had to lift her up by her arms because that is the only way to get her off the ground
I'm not strong enough to lift her up by myself and I am afraid my brother is going to strain himself from repeatedly doing this action!
Is there an easier method of doing this without hurting her?
Thanks in advance!
Have the EMTs get her up and assess why she is falling and if she needs to be checked medically.
Why is she falling so frequently?
Why can't she get herself up?
Has she had an assessment recently for Physical Therapy?
Have you tried bringing a sturdy chair to where she is and having her use it to get herself up?
Finding out why they fall doesn’t stop the falling. They need to get up to be part of life, use restroom, dress, eat.
being placed in a facility also doesn’t stop falls. My mother in law feel repeatedly in a luxury assisted car facility w assistant immediately best to her.
They also didn’t call 911 each time until doing an assessment, bc it costs lots of money for paradmedics to show up and help that Senior may not have extra to spend. And transpiration is not a medical expense so Medicare won’t pay for it.
