Follow the money

You already know which resident is going to fall next. Here's what it's going to cost.

Nobody budgets for falls. They just show up — in the ER bill, the workers' comp claim, the survey finding, the insurance premium, and eventually the letter from an attorney. Put your real numbers in and look at the total.

Residents at risk of falling from bed

The ones already on your fall-risk list.

Bed-related falls per year

Falls from or at the edge of the bed. Include unwitnessed ones.

Average cost per fall with injury ($)

Medical care, transport, staff time, documentation, investigation. Excludes litigation.

Percent of falls that cause injury (%)

The rest still cost you paperwork and staff time.

Low beds you'd deploy

One per fall-risk resident is the usual starting point.

Price per bed ($)

Varies by model and configuration. We'll quote you exactly.

The number that isn't in the box above

One fall becomes one lawsuit.

A fall with a fracture in a facility that had a known fall-risk resident in a 25-inch bed is not a bad-luck story. It's an exhibit. Plaintiff's counsel will ask one question: what did you do about it after you knew?

You don't need these beds to prevent every fall. You need them to prevent the one that ends up in a deposition.

We'll price it for your census — and tell you honestly if low beds aren't your problem.

ℹ

How this is calculated

Injury falls = bed falls × your injury rate. Annual cost = injury falls × your cost per fall. We model low-height beds as preventing 30% of injury falls — a deliberately conservative figure, since a fall from 3.6″ or 9″ is a very different event than a fall from 25″. Every number here is yours to change. We'd rather you argue with the inputs than take our word for the output.
