Falls in care homes are the most common cause of injury among older adults. Trade2Care supplies a comprehensive range of falls prevention equipment — from sensor alarms that alert staff before a fall occurs, to protective clothing that reduces injury severity when a fall does happen.

Active falls prevention

  • Floor sensor mats — pressure-sensitive; triggers nurse call alert when resident steps out of bed or chair
  • Bed exit alarms — sensor strip under the mattress; alert before the resident has fully left the bed; faster response than floor mats
  • Chair exit alarms — pressure pad in chair seat; alerts staff when a high-risk resident attempts to stand unsupported

Passive falls prevention

  • Hip protectors — padded shorts with energy-absorbing hip pads; reduce hip fracture risk by up to 60% in a documented fall
  • Anti-slip socks and footwear — grip sole reduces slip risk; particularly effective on smooth floor surfaces
  • Bed grab rails and support handles — give residents a safe grip point when repositioning or rising from bed; see also Extension Kits & Side Rails
