Mom has both hips fractured now as a result of her getting up from bed after the first hip surgery and not calling for help from the assisted living staff. Even with both hips fractured, she continues to try and get up from bed on her own. We have a 24/7 private CNA and a bed alarm. Due to financial reasons we cannot continue to keep the private CNA 24/7 and are looking to continue only at nighttime. Any suggestions on how we can keep Mom in bed?
Some places do not allow concave beds unless they are truly ambulatory and capable of getting up & out of them or the bed is by MD prescription. I imagine this too is a liability situation.
None of this is easy or quick & starting this now will be so much stressful than having to do something with the dreaded "30 Day Notice" over you. Good luck.
You can also get concave beds which are incredibly difficult to get out of. This might help in terms of keeping her in the bed. Some beds also have sides that can be erected to confine the person - like a cot. These can cause more problems than they solve though as many people will just try to climb over (or through!) them and the results are often worse. I'd definitely see if a concave bed might be of help.
The ideal thing is for her to understand what is obvious to you, which is that she should not get out of bed her self. Unfortunately, you are unlikely to succeed in this argument. Reason doesn't always count I'm afraid. At the end of the day, you can (and should) try your best but there will always be a risk that cannot be mitigated.
