Falling out of bed in a memory care facility

When we had my Mom in hospice and she could no longer get up on her own safely, we used the same trick as when our children were small, we rolled up a hospital blanket and placed it under the sheet (so it stayed in place) along the edge of the mattress. It was not considered a restraint by the residential hospice staff.

Thank you, Sue, that looks like a really good idea. I will be talking with the facility director today and will see if she agrees. If Judy was at home, I'd use that method too.
