It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Bed rails are no longer used in Florida nursing homes because they had too many deaths from rolling into the rail and choking to death.
Beds that drop to the floor combined with the gym pad mats are considered safer than death.
Nursing homes have beds that lower almost to the floor for those at risk of falling out of bed. You might be able to rent one.

Hospice can supply a hospital bed for your home and also help with daily bathing, nursing help and more. You can call your local Area Agency on Aging and they will have your local hospice come out and sign you up. Medicare pays for ALL of what hospice at home provides.
After installing this rail, I no longer needed the bed pad alarm that literally drive me nuts.
I slid the base underneath the box spring and I bungee the top of the rail to the headboard and footboard so she can't push it over.
My mother can't get out of the bed with this rail and it's soft mesh to she doesn't scrape her legs or hands if she wakes up and tries to get up before I can get there.
I would 100% buy this again.

If not on hospice and at home purchase a kids bed rail.
Is he in a facility? Check with the regulations there some do not allow bed rails.
You can also use pool noodles.... duct tape them into a triangle and place them under the sheet to form a ridge.
Also, you can use a mattress topper - get a foam one they sink so the patient cannot roll out.
The reason I ask is in a facility they can not use bed rails as they are considered a "restraint". One of the problems with bed rails is that a determined person can try to crawl over or through them leading to injury.
A hospital bed with the bed lowered as low as it will go and a mattress or padding on the floor so when he does fall out of bed he is less likely to get hurt.
There are things like a "pool noodle" that you could put under the bottom sheet and that will cradle him and make it a bit more difficult to roll to the edge of the bed.
You do not say if he is falling out of bed because he is trying to get out of bed or if he rolls around on the bed and rolls out.
If he is rolling out a wider bed can be ordered. Typically called a Bariatric Bed
