Bed rails are often metal rails that normally hang on the side of the patient’s bed. They are used in nursing facilities for a variety of reasons, including:
Fall prevention. They can keep a resident from getting out of bed or rolling off the bed during their sleep, causing injury to themselves.
Additional support. The bed rails can also act as a support mechanism for patients who are trying to adjust their bodies in bed. The rails can help them to get in and out of the bed on their own.
For patients who are not usually disoriented and who have some physical strength to make use of a bed rail, these bed rails are relatively safe, convenient and easy to use.
