"Resident was experiencing an excessive fall rate due to impaired cognitive patterns which did not cue her to lock the wheels prior to attempting to rise from or to sit down in the chair resulting in the wheelchair rolling away from the resident and causing a fall. This resident had experience 23 falls in a three-month period. The "SAFER Wheelchair" was placed into service with immediate success. During the next six months the resident experience six falls, all of which can be attributed to overall deterioration and increase of medications. None of the six falls are attributed to the movement of the wheelchair during entry or exit of the resident. "SAFER Wheelchairs" are not a luxury item for cognitively impaired residents, but are a necessity for their well being and to allow for continued safe mobility."
