Park Place Nursing Facility

Dear Shocked, A mattress on the floor is an acceptable practice if a resident frequently falls while getting out of bed. I have worked as an RN at a few facilities in the northeast. These are safety precautions that is usually part of a written plan of care, agreed to by the primary care physician and approved as an acceptable measure to avoid devastating injuries by the state. Please, before 'rating' any kind of facility, be sure that you are well informed as to policies/procedures of that particular facility.
