I would like to hear from caregivers of those affected by osteoporosis as to how they prevent falls (e.g. overnight) of those for whom they are caring. I have a 79 year old mother whose overnight falls have caused her to have two fractures (one spine and one shoulder) in the last eight months. She and my dad live in an assisted living facility.
