There's nothing scarier than having your loved ones or patients trip as they attempt a walk about or fall out of their bed or seat. But standing by their side 24/7 isn't a practical option either.
Below we will present a solution to fall prevention and tips to prevent falls.
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:
Fall Prevention Mats
Patient roll-outs are, unfortunately, a common occurrence. Besides fall prevention bed rails that transform a bed into a secure surface, a fall prevention mat is a fantastic option to cushion a patient in case they fall. ProHeal sells a range of mats, bi-fold foam mats, tri-fold foam mats, and beveled edge mats.
Bed Alarm for Dementia Patients
Dementia bed alarms provide real-time care for caregivers and loved ones. Attached to a bed, chair, or floor 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 of fall-prevention bed alarms:
Both bed alarms for dementia patients have their benefits, depending on the scenario to decide which is best for you.
Bottom Line
While patient falls can be a disastrous occurrence, there are practical and safe ways to protect your loved ones from any such injuries. Bed rails, fall mats, and bed alarms are all cost-effective and functional ways to ensure safe and secure care.

Good design for longer trips on our handicap van.
Product is just what I ordered and needs. It was easy to assemble, and work great.
Good price. Lightning fast shipping. Thank you
I have bought multiple Bariactric’ rollator and satisfied with my current one bought. Comfortable, steel construction, handling makes it the right one. Have bought other brands but have run into problems.
Take your time putting it together make sure you go by direction make sure the back wheel go on the outside of the roller and make sure that the brake handles slant out they should be marked right and left on the direction to make it easier. Maybe it was just me but I got it iam a big guy 350lbs and it works well the handles could be a little higher iam 6 1..Well built and good price
Ours mattress had a factory defect. This is a great company that stays on top of issues with the drive to please.
Very friendly customer service. Quality products at a reasonable price!
I have sent at least 5 emails and I spoke to someone about a refund. The wrong size I needed for my client. I still haven’t received an email back for a return shipping label. Getting very frustrated now.
I love it. It is for my son he is excited about it. His care giver love it.
