The bedroom should be a place of rest and recovery — but for many people with mobility concerns, it can also present risks. At Okotoks HC Pharmacy, we offer a wide range of bedroom safety equipment designed to promote comfort, prevent injuries, and support independence.
In this post, we’ll highlight some of the most important options, and you can click through to explore our full collections for each category.
🛏️ Hospital Beds

-
Adjustable head, foot, and overall height positions.
-
Side rails for safety and transfers.
-
Electric controls for ease of use by patients and caregivers.

📐 Bed Wedges & Cushions
Bed wedges and specialty cushions are simple but effective aids that:

🛡️ Bed Rails & Safety Rails
Bed rails are one of the most common and practical safety aids, helping to:
-
Prevent falls from bed during the night.
-
Provide leverage for repositioning and getting in or out of bed.
-
Support caregivers by reducing strain during transfers.
We offer different styles to suit every need:
-
Full-length rails for maximum fall protection.
-
Half-length rails for easier access while still providing safety.
-
Assist handles that act like grab bars at the bedside.
