EINPresswire/ -- With hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) and litigation on the rise, Emeritus has announced the launch of a mattress safety initiative aimed at helping healthcare facilities prevent compliance failures related to patient surfaces.

Through a specialised program of inspections, repairs, and reporting, Emeritus is working to make mattress management a key component of hospital safety strategies.

“Too often, mattresses are only replaced when they visibly fail or after a complaint,” said an Emeritus representative. “By then, the risk has already become reality. Our goal is to help hospitals act earlier—before patient safety is compromised.”

As part of its new program, Emeritus offers:

1. Trained mattress technician assessments of all patient surfaces

2. Condition grading and photographic documentation

3. Repair and replacement services with audit-ready reports

The service also supports infection control and facilities teams in meeting both internal quality goals and external compliance benchmarks.

Regulatory bodies have begun placing more focus on mattress condition in audits, especially when tied to pressure ulcers or contamination. Emeritus’ initiative provides the structure hospitals need to remain ahead of these expectations.

Early adopters have already reported improved readiness, lower liability exposure, and better coordination between clinical and maintenance teams.

“This is about more than comfort,” added the representative. “It’s about compliance, patient outcomes, and risk management.”

Emeritus is offering the mattress safety initiative as a standalone service or as part of its broader hospital bed lifecycle management platform.
