If you can I'd video things like this that you have a concern over to show you have just reason for expecting a greater level of attendance for his safety. It does sound as if at this point in his recovery, his level of determination paired with his lack of fear is of prime concern and I'd want some proof when I could get it in case the doctor won't okay this extra help. Hoping the doc will go along and the insurance covers it. Still, it sounds like he's in danger of a fall and re-injury if he manages to get out of that bed while alone and the facility does need to step up and provide what he needs, even if your insurance won't cover it.

The distance is the problem. I don't mind paying for it, I just don't know how to make them get a sitter in there to do it

If the doctor won't order it, the Patient Relations department or social worker for the facility should be able to tell you how to find one to hire privately.

Yes, I am on that but that aren't available until in the morning. Weekends has been a problem. I have a call into the charge nurse now. Thank you all for your help. Praying he gets to rehab tomorrow. The WC case worker and I will both be on it first thing in the morning.

Just the fact that you are calling them will hopefully make them more attentive. I know how busy hospitals get....they try to keep patient's secure but it is very hard with a determined patient.
Is he close to the front desk? If not, they need to move him...and THAT they can do!!! Insist on it with the charge nurse.

The beds in the hospital where Amanda was had sensor alarms if the patient moved, and locks on the rails too. (digital) I wonder too if a volunteer would be available?

Tena, I am praying the doctor will approve someone to stay with Pat. He surely doesn't need an additional injury which should be preventable. Continued prayers for him to improve.

Tena, I am praying a bed opened up for Pat and that he will have the supervision he needs to keep him safe.

Continuing to pray for your strength and for positive updates.

Checking in... hope the problem is solved... Praying for you both...

We got transferred to Health South the first part of the week. Pat is participating in the hour each of PT, OT & Speech, but he sleeping and trying to get up hasn't improved. He gets confused and then doesn't know what he wants. I talk with him on the phone and sometimes it helps them out.
Need continued prayers that pat will start to be less confused and can understand what has happened and he needs this therapy.

Tena, you and Pat are continually in my prayers. I haven't posted very many times in this thread, but believe me you ARE definitely in my thoughts and prayers.
