Falls from bed are one of the most common and serious safety incidents in UK care homes. A comprehensive falls prevention strategy typically combines an ultra low profiling bed with a crash mat alongside the bed, and a bed exit or floor sensor alarm to alert care staff as soon as a resident attempts to leave the bed or falls.

Trade2Care stocks folding crash mats for easy repositioning and storage, non-folding crash mats for permanent placement, and a range of fall prevention alarms from Alerta and Harvest — including bed exit sensors, chair pressure pads and wireless nurse call alert systems.

Building a complete falls prevention solution

  • Ultra low profiling bed — lowers to near-floor level; see Ultra Low Profiling Beds
  • Crash mat — placed beside the bed to cushion any fall; must cover the full length of the bed at the fall risk side
  • Wireless nurse call alert — crash mat triggers an alert direct to the nurse call system, allowing prompt response before a fall occurs
