As mobility declines with age, falls become one of the most common and dangerous risks seniors face often occurring in the very places they feel safest, like their own beds or bathrooms. At MedEquip Health, our goal is to help you prevent falls before they happen and respond effectively when they do.
Preventing Falls Starts with Mobility Support
Tools like walkers, rollators, and wheelchairs allow seniors to maintain their independence while minimizing the risk of injury.
Top Mobility Products:
- Triumph Maverick Carbon Fibre Rollator – Lightweight, durable, and easy to fold
- Triumph Prestige 2-in-1 – Functions as both a rollator and a transport chair
- Phoenix Carbon Fiber Power Chair – Ultralight, airline-approved, and easy to transport
- Merits Vision Sport Power Chair – Designed for long-term comfort and range
We only carry premium brands we’ve tested ourselves, because safety and durability are non-negotiable.
Don’t Overlook the Bed: A Major Fall Risk Zone
Many nighttime falls happen during:
- Transferring into or out of bed
- Bathroom trips
- Sudden waking from sleep
Safer Bed Options:
- High-Low Beds: Lower the sleep surface closer to the floor to reduce fall impact
- Med-Mizer AllCare Floor Bed: Low deck height of just 3.6"
- Span America Advantage Series: Adjustable positioning and lockout features
- SonderCare Aura Bed: Combines clinical functionality with beautiful design
These beds also help caregivers lift users into standing positions safely and gradually.
Tools for Safer Recovery After a Fall
Even with every precaution, falls can still happen and lifting a loved one from the floor without the proper tools is one of the top ways caregivers injure themselves.
Fall Recovery Tools:
-
Bounce Back Fall Recovery Patient Lift
Compact, easy-to-use, and ideal for lifting someone from the floor safely -
HelpUp Fall Recovery Lift
Inflatable lift that stores easily and inflates quickly when needed -
Span America Risk Manager Fall Mat
