Safe Mobility Light
Insufficient lighting in a senior’s room can lead
to falls at the bedside at night.4
Curbell Medical’s Safe Mobility Light is an innovative and cost-effective
enhancement for existing beds. Designed to automatically activate
when seniors get out of bed, the Safe Mobility Light improves nighttime
safety and provides peace of mind for caregivers and families.
Customize your room to enhance fall prevention
Every patient in your care has different levels of fall risk, and what works for one patient might not be ideal for another. Putting a BC600 Wireless Fall Monitor in every room simplifies your fall management program by allowing your staff to focus on what type of sensors are best for each patient.

Scenario: Chair-Bound with Transfer Risk – LTC or Memory Care
Many residents in long-term care or memory care settings spend extended periods in recliners or wheelchairs, with limited ability to self-transfer. A typical patient may attempt to stand unassisted — often during sundowning episodes or urgent toileting needs — which can result in an elevated fall risk. These individuals frequently present with moderate dementia and impaired depth perception, rendering environmental cues ineffective. The Curbell Medical BC600 Monitor, paired with wireless chair pads, provides timely alerts when a resident initiates an unassisted exit, enabling staff to intervene promptly and support safe mobility.

Scenario: Bathroom Entry Without Assistance – LTC or Behavioral Health
In many long-term care and behavioral health settings, patients with moderate mobility and cognitive impairment frequently attempt to enter the bathroom unassisted — especially during overnight hours or periods of urgency. A typical patient may be ambulatory but unsteady, with a history of falls during transfers or toileting. These individuals often bypass call systems due to confusion, urgency, or embarrassment, increasing the likelihood of injury in confined spaces.
To mitigate this risk, the Curbell Medical BC600 Monitor can be paired with a Wireless Motion Sensor positioned just outside the bathroom doorway. When a patient crosses the threshold without staff support, the system triggers an immediate alert, allowing caregivers to intervene before a hazardous transfer or fall occurs. This capability enables staff to intervene promptly and support safe mobility.

Scenario: Bed Lighting for Safe Exit – LTC or Rehab
In long-term care and rehabilitation environments, patients with mild to moderate mobility often attempt to exit beds or chairs independently, especially during nighttime hours. A typical patient may be recovering from surgery, managing early-stage dementia, or experiencing post-stroke disorientation. These individuals are ambulatory but at an elevated risk of falls due to impaired balance, poor lighting, or confusion about their surroundings.
The Curbell Medical Safe Mobility Light provides a proactive visual cue that guides patients toward safe exit behavior. The light activates automatically as the patient begins to rise — gently illuminating the path to reduce disorientation and support safe movement. When paired with a BC600 Monitor connected to the nurse call system and set to silent mode, the system discreetly signals staff that assistance may be needed without triggering an audible alarm. This prevents startling the patient or disturbing nearby residents, while still ensuring a timely caregiver response. The result is a calm, non-intrusive intervention that reinforces safe mobility and preserves nighttime rest.

Scenario: Fall Injury Reduction in Acute Care – Curbell Performance Mat
In hospital settings, patients recovering from surgery, experiencing delirium, or under sedation often attempt unassisted exits, especially at night. These individuals are ambulatory but unstable, with a high likelihood of slipping or falling during initial steps — placing them at significant risk for hip fractures, which are among the most costly and debilitating fall-related injuries in acute care.
The Curbell Medical Performance Mat provides a protective surface at the bedside to help reduce the severity of injuries in the event of a fall. Its low-profile design with beveled edges minimizes tripping hazards for staff and patients, while allowing chairs, mobile equipment, and bedside trays to roll smoothly across the mat without obstruction. This ensures both safety and workflow efficiency in high-acuity environments, while offering a critical layer of protection against impact-related injuries like hip fractures.

Position Sensory Alarms – Patient Restraint and Safety Insight
Nursing homes have an enduring legacy within healthcare of providing essential skilled nursing, restorative, rehabilitation, and assisted care to the most vulnerable populations. These vulnerable populations include individuals living with such conditions as new or long-term disability, chronic and/or terminal illness, cognitive impairment, frailty, and/or debility.
