Hi we have to move my mom to assisted living . She used to bed from hospice with side rails at home now and has in home help . They said she needs to get a mattress with bolsters or a scoop mattress from hospice to prevent falls but I don’t like the idea of her feeling trapped in bed and couldn’t get out with help of her companion if she wanted to . Anyone have experience with either of these beds or suggestions . The facility said she can’t use. Bed with side rails due to fear of entrapment . Thanks
I am a bit confused.... You say mom had a bed with rails when she was in home.... but you are concerned that a mattress with a bolster or a scoop would make her feel trapped.... I would think the rails would have made her feel trapped as again she also could not get out of bed without assistance.
