Antidepressants Might Raise Fall Risk in Nursing Homes

My new product which I created and designed is SafetyBunns LLC, Non-Slip pants. They are being implemented in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities to decrease slip/slide falls from chairs and wheelchairs.

The BWC also offers grant money for purchases to minimize injuries!!

After being a dedicated nurse for 33 years, the idea for nonslip pants occurred while working with assisted living residents and those with physical handicaps. While working with my clients, I saw many of them who were repeatedly falling and sliding from their chairs, beds and wheelchairs. Some of these incidents caused serious injuries from which they never recovered and often caused institutionalization at long term care facilities.

SafetyBunns Non-Slip Pants is a product designed to use friction by forming a gathering and causing immobility between the pants and the seat. They provide warmth, comfort and have nonrestrictive leg bottoms to allow for easy movement from chair to chair without hassle.
