Falls Prevention Devices

Falls prevention devices alert a carer when a person gets up, or reduce the risk while they move. The range includes bed and chair sensor mats, floor mats, movement alarms and monitors, wireless pagers and low profile fall mats placed beside the bed.

Match the device to the setting: a wireless pager suits a home where the carer sleeps in another room; a nurse call compatible unit suits a facility. Consider how the person will respond to the alarm, whether a delay setting reduces false alerts, and how mats and cables are placed so they do not become trip hazards themselves.

Thrive Lifecare supplies falls prevention devices to homes and care services across Tasmania and can quote for NDIS, Home Care Packages and Support at Home, DVA or private purchase, with delivery Tasmania-wide. Book a trial to test a device in the person’s own environment.
