Preventing Falls at Mealtimes

The Trip Zone
The ‘Trip Zone‘ is the area around the front of table into which a person needing assistance must navigate.
Trips and falls occur often in this area as both the senior and care staff are expected to shuffle sideways, step backwards, or lean on the table for support while getting aligned with the chair.
Navigating THE TRIP ZONE Safely

When Care Needs Change…

Residents Become Less Mobile, More Dependent, and Require More Physical Assistance From Caregivers
Front Line Caregivers Are the First to Feel the Impact of Reduced Mobility
Caregivers are expected to exert whatever physical effort is required (pushing–pulling–shoving–twisting) each time a seated person needs to be moved into position at the table.
Traditional Chairs FAIL Both Seniors and Caregivers. Why?
Chairs are not designed to reduce the physical demands of caregivers


Seating Innovations Essential For the Care of Today’s Seniors Should be Designed to:
How It Works…
Step 1. Remain Standing
Step 2. Move the Chair
Step 3. Be Seated
Step 4. Move the Seated Person into Position at the Table
Step 5. Move the Person Away-From the Table
