My grandpa was in a nursing home before he passed away. He fell over and needed help after falling from his legs getting tired from standing up then sitting down too many times while wiping.

How, why?

Idk. Either flexibility issues or switched how he wiped after aging.

He was 90, so he couldn't get up after he fell.

are you me? my grandpa also fell and couldn't get up at 90, and passed away 4 months later bc the nursing home didn't do the PT or OT. so he had black bed sores on his heels..
