Bed Chair Exit Alerts
Preventing Falls Before They Happen — Bed & Chair Exit Alerts
Introduction: Stopping Falls Before They Start
Most falls happen not mid-stride but in moments of transfer: rising from bed or standing from a chair. Silver Shield’s exit alerts give staff a vital early warning.
Why Transfers Are Risky
Night-time toileting
Reduced balance after sleep
Dementia-related walking with purpose
How Exit Alerts Work
Sensors detect movement as residents shift to stand. Staff receive a pre-fall alert, allowing intervention before the fall occurs.
Benefits for Care Teams
Night staff gain peace of mind
Fewer emergency call-outs
Proactive rather than reactive workflows
Case Example
A dementia wing in Yorkshire cut bed-related falls by 60% in six months by acting on proactive alerts.
