Falls prevention: softer landings and faster help
Preventing falls starts with the basics: light at night, no rugs, the right walking aid and footwear. When someone is still likely to fall, two things reduce the harm: a softer place to land and a fast call for help.
The products
The Aspire Lifecomfort Fall Safety Mat ($199.99) lies beside the bed to soften a fall for someone who rolls out at night. The NHA Personal Medical Watch ($495) detects a fall and calls for help with GPS location.
| Need | Product | From |

| Rolling out of bed | Fall Safety Mat | $199.99 |
| Help after a fall | NHA Medical Watch | $495 |
Fix the cause too
Many falls happen getting out of bed or off the toilet. A bed handle, bedside commode or raised toilet seat often prevents the fall in the first place. Ask your GP or pharmacist to review medicines that cause dizziness.
