Performance Health Fall Prevention Mat

Help protect the elderly and others from accidental falls during a transfer or when standing up from a bed or chair with this Fall Prevention Mat by Performance Health. Simple to use, the mat can be placed anywhere on the floor to provide standing and transferring support for users living with mobility impairments, including weakened legs, vision loss, and balance issues. The mat is made with Dycem non-slip polymer material with a tacky surface that will securely grip the floor.

This non-slip material is especially beneficial during a bed-to-walker transfer on a smooth, hard floor surface that may be slippery. Many long-term care facilities have hard surface floors that are often cleaned and waxed for hygienic purposes, making safe movement on the floor a challenge for those with mobility issues. For an elderly individual living in a care facility or at home, placing this fall prevention mat on the floor in front of a chair optimizes safety, enabling them to stand up with no fear of slipping. Aside from its physical support, this mat also enhances peace of mind, helping people with mobility disabilities to feel more secure as they stand and/or transfer to and from a walker or wheelchair.

The top of the mat offers a high-tack, shock absorption surface that is very comfortable and secure to stand on, especially on those days when the floor is a little chilly or damp. Many seniors wear socks at night or during the day to keep their feet warm, but socks are very slippery. With or without socks or slippers, this safety mat will allow the user to enjoy its comfort along with optimizing non-slip security. With its shallow 3/32-inch thick profile, the mat is low enough to be cleared by most doors. Its lightweight, compact size makes it easy to roll up and transport in a wheelchair or walker's storage area, ensuring no-fall support is always available. It can be placed on the floor next to a bed, in front of chairs, in a bathroom by the toilet and bathtub, or anywhere else additional no-fall support is needed.
