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.
