Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
She keeps getting up and falling even though we watch. Has anyone tried a fall monitor on a Queen size bed? She gets up in the night to go to the restroom and falls getting in or out. We are only 1 month into this and struggling.
Why don't you have hospice get her a hospital bed that will have railings on either side? They can also supply a bed alarm if necessary as well.(all covered 100% under mom's Medicare) You can then put a bedside commode right next to her bed, so she doesn't have to walk to the bathroom and risk falling. You can also try getting her to wear Depends(again hospice will supply diapers) at least overnight, so she won't have to worry about getting out of the bed. Good luck.
She shouldn't be getting out of bed without assistance -- period. You may either have to hire overnight help, or be prepared to get up with her when she has to go to the bathroom.
How is she on hospice and doesn't have a hospital bed? It's all paid for by Medicare, so call your hospice company and have them get one out there ASAP.
I used to care for aging people on Hospice and the Hospice coordinator can help with a pressure alarm some of them can be wireless so you have one near you and she will never hear it go off unless her room is close. I would also ask for a hospital bed that can lower down close to the floor that has a remote so it is easy on you to help her when she needs it. the alarms are not fun to deal with and some can be touchy and some can be hard to get to go off it is all about placement. never put one above the middle of the back or below the butt of a person or they go off so often you will be Moody trying to figure out a good place for one. if you have a tab alarm (one that has a clip with string those you can get a hair tie and put that on a pillow or the fitted sheet I used to clip and band it to the bed for those who knew how to grab and hide it lol I put them under the bed out of reach at the head of the bed with the clip on the shirt/ night gown. if she learns to take her clothes off wait till she is sleeping you will have to have less string/slack between the alarm and the clip. I would also get a padded mat for at night just in case she is slick and gets up without you knowing. Good luck and remember Hospice care also has relief people who can come sit with her for a bit while you leave and do something for you once in awhile.

I'd also get a baby monitor for her room.
