Re: When Alternative Pathways Work
by HelenM
I was reliably informed by the nursing home that my grandfather is a resident of that they're not allowed to put a seat belt on them whilst in a wheel chair. The reason being that they may was to get up and have a walk around (my grandfather is unable to walk i'd like to point out at this point) and that it would be in breach of his human rights! For the same reason he's no longer allowed to have a metal bed rail to stop him falling out of bed at night incase he "wanted" to get out of bed and the rail would then be "restraining" him and again would be a breach of his human rights. A week after they introduced this stupid policy the gentleman in the next room to my gradfather fell out of bed at night and broke his leg! But then I suppose he wanted to fall out of bed, human rights and all......
