• While in the hospital, you may be more likely to fall than expected due to changes in your environment and a decrease in muscle strength and stamina. Because hospital floors are harder than at home, falls can lead to injuries and fractures, which can affect your ability to receive proper medical care. Discuss preventive measures with your nurses in order to ensure a safe and secure hospital stay. Please consult the nurse if you need to be accompanied when walking or moving at any time.

※ 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

Hospital floors are hard and slippery, so it is recommended to use shoes with no heels and a non-slip surface.

You can buy such shoes at the hospital store.

About the use of bed fences

If the bed rail is not used, the patient may fall out of bed. Please use the bed rail, especially when sleeping.

Over tables and bedsteads have casters (wheels).

They start to move when weight is applied to them, which is dangerous, so please do not hold onto them.

• Hearing aids and dentures must be kept in their own containers to prevent them from being lost.
