my dad was in a nursing home. they are not allowed to restrain either.

the response was to lower the beds and put mattresses on either side of the beds so when the patients fell out they they didn't really fall because they were already on the floor.

just about every resident had the string to an alert device clipped to their clothing that would buzz if they moved out of their chair or bed. not technically a restraint I guess.
