[quote=FelixA7]All -- My 90+ year old father, who is in the early stages of dementia, rolled out of bed and hit the ground hard while trying to get out of bed to go to the bathroom at night. He forgot that he had to ring the bell for the night attendant and, perhaps, got confused about the steps he needed to take to get to the bathroom. In an effort to avoid a fall in the future, I would like to buy a hospital bed that lowers to 6" from the ground and that has an alarm, which would indicate to the attendant who sleeps next door that he is attempting to get out of bed. There should also be some form of guard rails. Does anyone have any suggestions for quality hospital beds or electronic beds that have these features? Any companies, local or not local, that sell these beds? I've heard of renting hospital beds, but I would rather just purchase one because my father is in very good health (aside from dementia) and could live for several years more. [/quote]
