[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP. Talk with the assisted living to see if they have any other bed options. You want an electric bed that can drop as low as possible to the floor. Then the gym pad/fall protection is put next to the bed. I've seen this in action in nursing homes and the beds are dropped really low to the floor so if the resident falls or rolls out of bed there is only about an 8-10 inch drop from the top of mattress to they gym pad to reduce bone breaks. I recently bought a hospital bed for Mom in Maryland. The vendor advised there is a trend away from the bed rails in Maryland although they still seem to be legal in Maryland.[/quote]
