Case Manager A of Resident #1's hospice provider stated she has spoken with the facility staff and with the resident's family member regarding Resident #1's falls.
Case Manager A stated the facility has been trying different interventions, but it has been difficult due to Resident #1 most likely needing a locked memory care and being unable to find a place that is a good fit for her.
Case Manager A also stated Resident #1 is [AGE] years old and susceptible to falls, but they did not want her to be restrained using medication and they want to ensure the Resident is safe.
