For many elderly people, accidents can and often do happen in the least likely of places. One room in particular for trips and falls is the bedroom. Trying to get in and out of bed, tripping on table legs or having the wrong assistive equipment to move about can likely occur in the bedroom.
Utilizing the right furniture and having the best support for getting up and lying down can drastically reduce the amount of accidents the elderly could experience. There are many products that come in handy to ensure safety when alone.
For safety in the bedroom… , these support products are most practical (and available at BEK Medical Inc.).
Electric hospital bed: Our beds are specifically designed to do all of the work needed for maximizing comfort. While still in bed, with a push of a button, you can raise or lower the head or foot of the bed.
Tables, trays and alarms: Bedside tables can be a hazard, especially when having to reach over a bed rail. A moveable table or tray that goes over top of the bed is best suited. Alarms provide assistance when help is needed and without the need for getting out of bed.
Mattress covers and pads: These are good for sanitation and extra comfort.
Bed cushions, wedges and pillows: These pillows and cushions are designed for providing the back plenty of support. For those who are required to stay in bed, the cushions help to support joints and muscles.
Bed rails: A rail is probably the most important component to bedroom safety. These sturdy rails are hooked onto the bed and allow for support when getting in and out of bed. When stability is a leading contributor to elderly safety, a bed rail provides much reassurance.
The above pieces of support equipment can be provided by our company. We strive to help those with limited mobility to feel independent in the safest manner possible.
