Re: Nursing home regulations-restraints
It is NOT the nursing home that will not comply with our request for restraints.. It is the state inspector who will not allow the restraint to be used. We have no support from the ombudsman........whose comment was "well, if your mamma can't stand by herself then you have nothing to worry about with the seat belt not being in use". My sister is a physical therapist and was about ready to have a stroke herself while she was confronting the ombudsman!.........this is in Rochester MN!! Rita
