wow, I totally can't believe what people did in there. Though I would really like to know if what I heard about what they did to people in there was true or not?
Having worked in a state school/hospital for 16 or more years I am appalled by this "Adult Crib" we have not a do not use such things. When we have a client that falls or something to that nature we put up side rails on hie/her regular bed and we have a staff person sit one to one. Until we get permission to put up the Rails since it is a restriction of movement. After the railing is installed on thier bed we have 5 minute checks or still sitting one to one if need be.
