Totally agree with you there Romps. Apparently , many moons ago, when elderly were placed on Nightingale wards, pressure care and other training in regards to the health of the elderly were taken and training was given.

But now that we have nursing homes and residential homes, apparently the hospital has taken a hands off approach to the prevention of pressure care, and this is why many hospitals are under the impression that if the patient is placed on a Air mattress, then there is no need for Re-positional routines for this patient.

Anyway, No more of this, or I will get pounced on for thread wondering!!!!!!!!
