Elderly Fall Prevention: Bed Safety

When it comes to falls, using that ‘ounce of prevention’ is worth it’s weight in gold. Show in this video is a bed that lifts the occupant up to a standing position. The draw to a bed like this may not be only in this feature. It is also able to adjust to a wide variety of positions for other activities, including just sitting up to watch television.

The bed uses precise controls to ensure a person’s safety. The bed will tilt and a lifter for the feet will bring them level with the floor. It is engineered in such a way to ensure the occupant remains against the bed while being put in an upright position. This bed can be used in prevention of falls, reducing the risk of hip fractures and safely increasing independence.
