[QUOTE="kirks5oh, post: 16125285, member: 23235"] Make sure family calls her daily. That’s about all you can do to make sure she’s discovered quickly if she falls in the house. Also have a health care professional check the house out to remove any traps for falling (loose rugs, etc etc). I fix broken hips for a living and most of the ones we fix are unwitnessed, in-home falls. If the person lives alone they have a much, much higher chance of dying. Many of these people are discovered a day or two later by neighbors. By that time they are totally dehydrated and well on their way to getting pneumonia If your mom is still using a walker from a broken foot that occurred a year ago, she is a very high risk for falling, and likely quite osteoporotic [/QUOTE]
