I work in a nursing home. We have bariatric beds now. We had a huge man who kept trying to get out of his bed and would fall. The nurses would call EMS to get him up. They finally told them to stop calling, that they had serious calls to get to. The resident was shipped off to another facility shortly after that.
I recall 4 yrs ago a 600lb man I provided service to in an assisted living facility. The state appropriated 25k for bariatric equipment via the CBA pgm. He was manipulative, selfish and demanding, and only lasted around 4 months there, being evicted because he violated the food policy. He was sneaking pizzas and liters of cokes at night. His caseworker learned of it and placed him in a SNF. Sad case. Food was his DRUG. He was only about 35 and in very poor health as you can imagine...lower extremity edema as I’ve never seen. CHF/kidney failure...
