SAFE MOBILITY LIGHT
Curbell’s Safe Mobility Light provides gentle, automatic illumination to help reduce the risk of nighttime falls.
The system consists of a light bar mounted under the bed and a discreet sensor pad placed beneath the mattress, where it doesn’t affect patient comfort and eliminates the need for frequent cleaning.
The light bar provides just enough light to make getting out of bed safer at night. When the patient gets out of bed, the sensor pad turns the light on. When they get back in bed, the light turns off.
The Safe Mobility Light offers tremendous safety benefits for seniors in assisted living or long-term care facilities, and is a cost-effective upgrade that can easily integrate into existing beds without decreasing comfort.
It can be further enhanced by adding a BC600 Cordless Fall Monitor to alert staff of a bed exit, improving fall prevention and response time, particularly during night shifts with lower staffing levels.2
This creates an overall solution for implementing automatic lights and wireless bed exit to retrofit or upgrade low-cost beds in long-term care and assisted living facilities.
The system includes two LED light strips, the bed sensor pad, interface box, AC adaptor, and cables and cable ties.

Rather than being placed on top of the mattress, which can be uncomfortable, the sensor pad is placed underneath the mattress, which is discreet and eliminates the need for frequent cleaning.
To expand coverage, the system can be enhanced with the addition of the BC600 Cordless Fall Monitor. This will extend wireless monitoring to the bed and other fall risk areas, such as the chair and the bathroom.
