How do you deal with loved one falling out of bed?

Yes, side rails would be in order. Do not even think about tying him to the bed though. (Once I had my mother stay with me and I put the bed on the floor and just helped her out in the a.m.)

I wanted to put a rail up too, but then I heard they can try to climb over it and possibly get caught in it or fall over it. Come hell or high water, they will try to get out. Short of restraining straps, not much you can do. And meds to help them sleep through the night

My husband was/is like that, first I put a pillow between box spring and mattress, there was just enough of a "hill" that he didn't roll out of bed, we had to graduate to a rail and now a hospital bed....

Thank you! The thing is, he was doing this before we started meds. He would shout out, toss around, and flail his arms around. Dr. put him on Smallest dose of Aricept and then an antidepressant, which seemed to help for a while. Maybe we need to see about upping the dosage!

You may want to have his medications checked. Some side effects include bad dreams. I heard of someone once diving out of bed right on to the floor. They imagined they were at their swimming club. A side rail might not be a bad idea in the meantime
