Speak with her doctor. Sometimes a low dose anti-depressant has a good effect. Now they are even occ. giving good gummies in nursing homes, believe it or not. A friend whose mother is in care in Austin Tx has been transformed by the things!
The constant falls aren't likely a matter of her ADHD but of a brain suffering balance issues, which all our brains DO suffer with aging. Falls become more frequent. Often they are the beginning of the end, and certain were for my own mom. If these falls are becoming too frequent and it is necessary, the facility may have mom in a sort of chair with a tray table over it which keeps residents upright and in good position, but prevents easy exit without help. These residents are often kept in a common room near to a nurse station. They are often given little "tasks" and these sometimes help. In our hospital we used the folding of washclothes as we begged for help. Surprisingly the women of the group we often happily occupied with this for hours. Men sometimes needed more active things. But they were kept more or less safe until we could accompany them on walks.
Sometimes this need to walk becomes almost compulsive. Again, I would take with a doctor then about trying medication. Always a double bind there in that occ. these make falls more likely, if less compulsive.
I can only wish you good luck. Not everything can be fixed.
