š Fall Prevention Friday: Light the Night!
A safer morning can begin the night before. Try these simple habits before getting out of bed:
ā
Use nightlights to brighten the route to the bathroom.
ā
Sit at the edge of the bed, stand slowly, and pause before walking.
ā
Keep a phone or personal alert device within easy reach.
PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: BEDSIDE SAFETY RAILS
A properly selected bedside safety rail can provide a steady handhold for repositioning and getting in or out of bed. Fit and installation matter: the rail, mattress, and bed frame must be compatible, and rails are not appropriate for everyone. Ask the Mobility & More team to help you explore a solution suited to your needs.
Visit a Mobility & More store or online at www.ShopMobility.com for more information.
