What is Ramblegard?

Ramblegard is a patient monitoring and fall prevention system that uses bed, chair and floor sensors to alert care staff when movement is detected. 

How does Ramblegard help prevent falls?

Ramblegard helps prevent falls by providing early alerts when resident movement is detected. This allows care staff to respond quickly before a resident attempts to walk unaided, reducing the risk of falls and supporting safer care. 

What types of sensors are available?

Ramblegard systems can include bed sensors, chair sensors and floor pressure mats. These monitoring options allow care providers to choose the most appropriate solution based on individual resident needs, mobility levels and risk assessments. 

How do bed and chair sensors work?

Bed and chair sensors are pressure-sensitive devices placed on or beneath a bed or chair. When pressure is removed because a resident stands up or moves away, the system automatically triggers an alert to notify care staff.

Can Ramblegard be used in care homes and hospitals?

Yes. Ramblegard is suitable for a range of healthcare settings, including residential care homes, nursing homes, hospitals and assisted living environments. The system can be adapted to support different levels of resident monitoring and fall prevention. 

How are alerts sent to care staff?

When movement is detected, Ramblegard can send alerts through audible alarms, nurse-call systems or wireless notification devices, depending on the configuration installed. This helps ensure staff are notifed quickly and can respond promptly. 

Is Ramblegard easy to install?

Ramblegard systems are designed for straightforward installation and integration into existing care environments. The specific installation requirements depend on the products selected and the monitoring needs of the facility. 

Can the system be customised for different residents?

Yes. Ramblegard solutions can be tailored to suit individual resident requirements. Different sensor types, alert methods and monitoring configurations can be selected based on mobility levels, care plans and assessed fall risks,

What are the benefits of fall prevention technology?

Ramblegard improves resident safety by providing real-time monitoring and alerts when movement occurs. This enables care teams to intervene quickly, support residents who may need assistance and reduce the likelihood of falls, particularly for those at higher risk.

How do care homes prevent resident falls?

Care homes help prevent resident falls by combining individual risk assessments, trained staff, appropriate care plans and specialist equipment. Every resident has different needs, so fall prevention measures are tailored to their mobility, health conditions and level of independence.

Common strategies include using bed and chair monitoring systems, mobility aids, pressure-sensitive floor mats, adequate lighting, clear walkways and regular supervision for residents who are at higher risk of falling. Care homes also ensure equipment is well maintained, staff receive ongoing training and residents have access to suitable footwear and mobility support.

Technology such as the Ramblegard monitoring system can provide early alerts when a resident attempts to leave a bed or chair without assistance, allowing care staff to respond quickly and help reduce the risk of unassisted falls. By combining proactive care with appropriate equipment and regular monitoring, care homes can create a safer environment while promoting resident dignity, comfort and independence.

Is Ramblegard suitable for care homes?

Yes, Ramblegard is widely used in care homes, nursing homes and healthcare environments. 

What types of sensors are available?

The system can include bed sensors, chair sensors, floor mats and wireless alert solutions. 

Does Ramblegard replace staff supervision?

No. Ramblegard is designed to support care staff by providing alerts when movement is detected. It complements existing care practices and helps staff respond quickly to residents who may require assistance.

Which residents benefit most from Ramblegard?

Ramblegard is particularly beneficial for residents who are at risk of falls, have reduced mobility, experience cognitive impairment or require additional monitoring to support their safety and wellbeing. 

Can Ramblegard help reduce bed-exit incidents?

Yes. Bed sensors can alert staff when a resident attempts to leave their bed, helping caregivers respond before an unassisted transfer or potential fall occurs. 

What is a floor pressure mat used for?

A floor pressure mat is placed bedside a bed or chair and triggers an alert when stepped on. It provides an additional layer of monitoring for residents who may leave their bed or chair without assistance. 

Why is fall prevention important in care homes?

Falls can result in injury, reduced confidence and loss of independence for residents. Effective fall prevention measures help create a safer care environment while supporting resident wellbeing and quality of life.
