Q. My dad has fallen out of bed a few times recently. He does not know why and what happened, only that he just ends up on the floor. What can I do to help? - Ahmad
A. Thanks for approaching, Ahmad! It is often thought as an issue for young children, but surprisingly and unfortunately, falling out of bed is an issue for older people as well.
