How to Keep Dementia Patients in Bed at Night?

Restraints are the least favorable and extreme method of limiting a patient's movement; that's why it is only used in drastic situations. Here are two safer and less drastic mediums that will ensure a secure patient setting:

  2. Fall Prevention Bed AlarmsĀ

DementiaĀ bed alarmsĀ provide real-time care for caregivers and loved ones. Attached to aĀ bed, chair, orĀ floorĀ sensor, the alarm notifies the caregiver if the patient is trying to move unwittingly out of their bed or chair. In general, there are two types ofĀ fall-prevention bed alarms:

  1. Motion Sensor Alarm sounds when the weight is shifted or applied to the sensor pad.Ā

BothĀ bed alarms for dementia patientsĀ have their benefits, depending on the scenario to decide which is best for you.Ā
