Falls Prevention Advice

Footwear Wear well-fitted shoes or slippers that won't fall off. If you don’t have suitable footwear, ask for a pair of red non-slip socks. Bathroom Safety Be careful in the bathroom and use the call bell/pull cord if you need help. Staff may advise you to have someone with you in the bathroom for safety. General Safety Tips Don’t lock your room door; the locks are for privacy during medical exams. When leaving your room with your baby, use the provided cot to push your baby. Always keep patient beds at the lowest height.
