[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here with quick update. Second person at the facility has just told us that state regulations prevent the mats from being used as they are a hazard. I would understand that if they were left out all day but the idea is that they are out only after mom is in bed and folded and placed underneath the bed as soon as she is out of bed in the morning. We haven't cancelled the order yet and are still making sure they can't be used. BIL is a firefighter and has seen them in place in Virginia facilities so it may very from county to county or facility to facility but we are confused by the "state regulations" comment. Hard to get some things answered on a Sunday.[/quote] I think it is probably a facility and state by state set of regulations. I can tell you the mat system is heavily used in Florida nursing homes and bed rails have been discontinued due to deaths from bed rails.[/quote]
