168 | Bed Rails for People with Dementia

In this original What the Dementia episode, we will discuss the use of bed rails from a fall-prevention perspective, including when they may be helpful and when they can pose serious risks. Caregivers often consider bed rails as a way to keep their partner with dementia from falling out of bed, but not all uses are safe.

And since it’s Fall Prevention Month, don’t miss our recorded webinar Deck the Halls to Prevent Falls for more practical tips and strategies to create a safer home environment—available at letsbambu.com/events.

This episode will cover:

— Common risks associated with bed rails

— The safest and most functional purpose of a bed rail

— Features to look for when choosing a bed rail

— When bed rails should be avoided

— Safer alternatives like bed bumpers for unsupervised use
