My mother had a motion sensor on her wheelchair and bed. They said she stopped needing it because she stopped trying to walk alone (really can't now). It's also hard to rise from her broda chair. Somehow, she fell out of the chair recently, so I asked them to put the motion sensor back. Now I'm told they have become "alarm-free." The reason is the noise disturbs people, may actaully cause a fall. Some people claim fewer falls happen with no alarms. Has anyone here had good or bad events with an "alarm-free" nursing home?

Put the ball back in the facilities court and sweetly ask if they have any ideas or suggestions.
My mother was found when she was on the floor and called HELP. How long was she there? What if she was unconscious or struggling to get up? Just looking to minimize the harm.
