Wireless Floor Plus Alertamat, Fall Prevention Mat for Dementia and High-Risk Users
- Large-format 60x90cm wireless floor sensor mat for bedside or doorway fall prevention, triggering an immediate alert when a user steps onto the mat, with the large coverage area reducing the risk of users stepping over the mat edge - a specific concern for patients with Parkinson's disease or freezing gait who step unpredictably.
- Discreet light colour designed for dementia care settings, where users with cognitive impairment are statistically less likely to notice and avoid a light-coloured mat than a high-contrast sensor pad, improving compliance without physical restraint and supporting CQC Regulation 10 (Dignity and Respect) through non-restrictive monitoring.
- Antibacterial wipe-clean surface and genuine non-slip base with strong welded seals and reinforced wiring for long-term clinical durability, supporting CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) hygiene requirements for patient contact equipment used at floor level in care home and hospital environments.
- Supplied with wireless transmitter for connection to the Alerta Wall Point Receiver (sold separately) via 433MHz radio frequency at up to 95 metres range, with nurse call system integration providing silent alerting that protects overnight dignity and enables centralised staff notification.
Wireless Floor Plus Alertamat: Large 60x90cm Wireless Fall Prevention Mat for Dementia and High-Risk Care
The Wireless Floor Plus Alertamat is a 60x90cm low-profile wireless floor sensor mat for bedside and doorway fall prevention in care homes, NHS wards and home care settings. When a user steps onto the mat, an immediate wireless alert is transmitted to the Alerta Wall Point Receiver at up to 95 metres range for nurse call system integration or standalone in-room alerting. The large 60x90cm footprint provides greater coverage than narrower floor sensors, reducing the risk of patients stepping over the mat edge. The light tone is specifically selected for dementia settings where users are less likely to notice and avoid a light-coloured mat, improving compliance without physical restraint.

Clinical and Regulatory Compliance
NICE Guideline NG147 (Falls in Older People) identifies timely detection of high-risk movement as a core component of multifactorial falls prevention in care settings. The Wireless Floor Plus Alertamat implements NG147 guidance by providing immediate notification at the first step, before a fall occurs, giving carers the response window that NICE identifies as clinically meaningful for fall prevention rather than fall response. CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) requires that fall risk is managed through appropriate clinical equipment: the Floor Plus Alertamat is specifically designed for high-risk patients in dementia and mobility impairment care settings where undetected independent mobility creates a documented fall injury risk. CQC Regulation 10 (Dignity and Respect) is preserved by the non-restraint monitoring approach: the mat monitors movement without physically restricting the user, maintaining autonomy while providing protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should the Floor Plus Alertamat be placed on top of carpet or only on hard floors?
The Floor Plus Alertamat can be used on both carpet and hard floor surfaces. The genuine non-slip base is designed to grip both surface types, though on thick-pile carpet the mat may have slightly less anchorage than on hard floor. Confirm stable positioning before leaving the patient unattended after first placement. For carpeted care home bedroom environments, the Wireless Deluxe Alertamat (product 311) provides a carpeted top surface that integrates more naturally with the room appearance and may be more appropriate for settings where the clinical appearance of the Floor Plus mat is not preferred.
Does the Floor Plus Alertamat alert when the user steps on it, or when they step off it?
The Floor Plus Alertamat triggers an alert when the user steps onto the mat, pressure activation. This means it is most effective when placed in a position where the user must step onto it before reaching the door or travelling away from the bed. Placed at the bedside, the user steps onto it as they swing their legs off the bed; placed at a doorway, the user steps onto it as they approach the exit. The early-alert design gives carers maximum response time before the user reaches a hazardous position, which is the clinical advantage over contact sensors that alert only after the user has already moved.
