Preventing falls from low beds

floor mats we use rarely. prefer low beds as fewer problems with low beds. Endorse frequent round by staff. BTW we hate the alarms, wakes everyone up!!!
Nurses that trip on them should take care to open the lights when entering rooms, will be easier to see...

In missouri it's a state regulation that you MUST use a mat if a pt is in a low bed. We found some smaller, less cumbersome ones that aren't quite as bad though.

We just started using some new mats beside low beds that are beveled at the edges, only about 1 1/2 inches thick, and are not moved at all. They're made of some foam-type material that you can drop an egg from 3 feet and not break it (DON demonstrated this several times). They stay put and you can roll wheelchairs and walkers over them without problems. And they are HEAVEN to stand on. Not sure how much the facility paid for them but they seem well worth the money. Way better than the tile floor for residents to land on!!

Whats it called?

We tried (inspiration from this) to put a strip of velcro on the floor and one sewn into the floor mat so that it wont slip and move. The situation is better but your solution sounds even better- I dont care what it costs.
