Four falls in 3 days, aides sleeping on the job, and broken medical equipment are part of this man's sad demise.

I was in rehab last year at one of DC’s best hospitals. I wasn’t suppose to get up but it took 45 minutes to have a nurse or tech assist me to the bathroom. I would carefully go on my own. I did have a few falls . If you have a family member in rehab they should probably have one on one care 24/7. The hospital transport system would lose / forget about me all over the hospital and I’d have to navigate on my own . It is dangerous in hospitals these days. Take care of your health.

I've worked in three nursing homes here in New Jersey and I have to say in this state, everybody, and I mean every body who works in a nursing home is required, by law, to be trained to prevent residents from falling, what to do if they see a person fall, how to report a falling incident and if they even think someone may have fallen and it either wasn't seen or reported you're required to do so. There are serve consequences for failing to do so.

Then don’t fall especially that many times. Even with advancing age, we must take personal responsibility.

As you age, move cautiously. Protect your hips.

100,000 die a year in cesspit hospitals due to their infections and lack of infection control. Investigate that AMA instead of firearm “violence”.

When the White House gets involved, the minimum-wager CNAs gotta be getting nervous.

They’ll probably take the 5th.

After a stroke, mother-in-law had 24hr a day care at home. It was shift change at 8am, both caregivers in the kitchen BS’ing...Gramma got up, went to the john, fell, hit her head, died 2 days later.

The caregivers still got paid for the day.
