Protect your residents from injuries with Curbell Medical’s comprehensive falls management solution
Falls cause approximately 80% of traumatic brain injuries in older adults, and nearly one third of falls by residents in long-term care (LTC) result in head impact1 and reduced staffing increases the risk of a fall due to the lack of assisted mobility, especially in the evening when the night coverage to patients ratio is much higher2.
Curbell Medical is committed to aiding in the reduction of critically damaging accidents for LTC residents and senior patients through dependable, high quality support gear. Their fall management system works to minimize the number of unassisted exits and patient falls by notifying caregivers when one is in danger of occurring.
