Geri Chair Nursing
Has anyone ever used a hoyer lift for a person....?
that may not be able to hold on as they are being lifted? Isn't this for a person that is unable to get up by themselves? My Dad got sick and had to be put on a vent. When he was taken off it he was not able to talk or eat. He has a feeding tube now and he just lays in bed. He tries to respond by moaning or yelling. I have him home with me and I want to get a hoyer lift and a geri chair to get him out of bed. Any ideas or suggestions. This is his Doctor saying not to use this and leave him in bed. He was termed as activly dying several weeks ago, but has came back. He has been discharged from Hospice care and is back with his regular Doctor. The Doctor comes to see him twice a month and the R.N. sees him once a week to see if we need anything. I told them this is what I needed and they said it was too riskey for my Dad with not being more alert. I have been in the Medical field for 15 plus years and I know if he was in a nursing home they would have him up!
there are any number of medical supply houses that will sell you these items. without the cooperation of the doctor tho, medicare, or medicaid will not pay for them, you will have to purchase them yourself. Some supply houses will rent them to you as well.

If a nurse in a nursing home is being investigated, does the hospital have to tell her why or what it's about?
My mother works in a nursing home in North Carolina and recently a patient went "beserk" (her own words). He was kicking, fighting, screaming obsenities. Nurses on his hall called for help and my mother, on another hall, came to their aid. She helped to restrain the man (abiding all hospital procedures). Later that night, the same thing occurred. They placed him in a Geri-Chair and set him out in the hallway. Another nurse attempted to put the patient back into his room, but my mother told the nurse to leave him in the hall. (His episodes took place when he was unrestrained in his room.) A couple of days later, my mother got a call saying that she was under investigation, but they will not tell her why or what it's about. Is this legal (on the part of the nursing home)? Can anyone provide any helpful websites/sources about this matter?
Unfortunately, because it is a private entity that is doing the investigating, this is legal and they do not have to provide you with information. Now, if this escalates to the state level, or the people who license nurses in your state get involved, then your mom will be afforded some due process protections. But as of yet, no adverse action has been taken against her - so there is really nothing that can be done.
