Pauline Wilkins, from Clarkes Lane in St Martins, Oswestry, fell at Wrexham Maelor Hospital, an inquest in Ruthin heard. The fall came days after her diagnosis.
Arrangements were being made for the 80-year-old to be moved to Chirk Hospital, possibly for end-of-life care.
But on March 7 last year, she rang her alarm bell for assistance to go to the toilet.
