I wonder if anyone can help me find something that can help in this situation.
My mum has Parkinsons and Dementia. Pretty advanced for both and she is in a nursing home.
She is wheelchair bound and has figured out how to open her new belt buckle. Unfortunately, this means she gets up and has had two falls in 3 days. She is very frail, 5 and a half stone with severe osteoporosis so we need this not to happen again. The fall today has been quite serious and she is being taken for a brain scan at the hospital.
The home are a bit useless and we are in the process of trying to get her moved but that's another story. Has anyone come across this before and found a solution?
One of the extra difficulties is I'm trying to support my dad from afar so trying to help him to find a solution basically. Someone suggested that you can just put the buckle round the back but he said that's not possible.
There must be a solution to this.
