A few months ago a caregiver at facility was pushing my mother-in-law in the
wheelchair and she fell out of the chair and had very bad bruises in the front of her face, lucky nose was not broken. When I ask the granddaughter what happen she said staff stated that she put her foot down.
The granddaughter is POA, nothing was done.
This situation really unset me
My own Mom, while sitting in a wheelchair, would reach down because she thought she saw something on the rug, would tumble out. The nursing home tried using a seatbelt, but within seconds the Staff heard the unclick sound, so that idea was shelved. Senior facilities are limited on what they can do due to State Laws.
Sounds like the grand-daughter has good understanding how things like this can happen in an instant. And thankfully Mom-in-law wasn't seriously hurt.
because the aide wanted her for something, I believe she was pushing her to
fast which cause the incident.
So so I mean.....what do you want done? There was likely an incident report taken and the staff involved coached. If MIL has recovered, it’s time to let this go.
