My husband, aged 91, has had several falls in the last few months, as I’m 81 and have had my knees replaced it is difficult for me to help him get back up. I’ve been told to call 111 when he does have a fall so that a paramedic can help.
On two occasions, both Saturdays when the paramedics are very busy, we had to wait about two hours for the paramedic to arrive – I’ve told my husband he must not fall over on a Saturday!
Other than that they are a great crowd, very kind and caring.
