The coroner's concerns
1. inadequate coverage of sensory mats
“The sensory mats being used on the floor next to the bedside are significantly smaller than the bed and will only trigger when directly stood upon. If a patient gets out of bed in a place not covered by the mat this will not be trigger a response from the care home staff and they will be unaware the patient is trying to move or has fallen”
