Inpatient

• During your stay, changes in your environment and a potential decrease in muscle strength or stamina can make you more prone to falling than you might expect.
• Hospital floors are harder than those at home, so a fall can lead to serious injuries or fractures, which may interfere with your medical treatment.
• We want to work with you and your nurses to create a prevention plan so you can have a safe and worry-free stay.
• If you feel you need assistance when walking or moving, please do not hesitate to ask a nurse for help.

※ Spilling water, tea, or other liquids on the floor can cause slipping.

You must remove the spilled item immediately, so please inform our staff.

Choose safe footwear

※As hospital floors are hard and can be slippery, we recommend wearing shoes that are flat (no heels) and have non-slip soles. For your safety, please avoid slippers or loose-fitting footwear. These are available for purchase at the hospital shop.

About the use of bed fences

To prevent falling out of bed, please keep the bed rails up, especially while you are sleeping.

Overbed Tables and Bedside Cabinets

These items are equipped with casters (wheels). They may move unexpectedly if you lean on them, which is very dangerous. Please do not use them for support when standing up or moving.
