Care-Steps Slipper Socks & Patient Safety Footwear

The single biggest risk during an inpatient stay isn't always the reason someone was admitted — it's the walk from the bed to the bathroom on a slick vinyl floor. Care-Steps slipper socks from Alba Healthcare are built for exactly that moment, pairing warm acrylic and stretch-yarn knit with slip-resistant treads that grip hard-surface floors when patients are unsteady, medicated, or moving in the dark.

The line covers the practical range facilities actually reorder. The Care-Steps Single Tread Slipper Socks (80103) offer a treaded sole on one side for standard patient use, while the Care-Steps Slip-Resistant Patient Safety Footwear (80104) in tan features an above-the-ankle cut for warmth and coverage. Stepping up, the Care-Steps II Slippers (80204, 80207, 80208, 80209) add a second tread and expanded sizing, so high fall-risk patients get grip whichever way their foot lands.

A few things buyers ask about most: these are disposable and designed to be dispensed per patient, which supports infection-control protocols and eliminates laundering. Sizing runs by adult small through large — the 80104, for example, fits roughly adult shoe size 9 to 11 — so ordering an assortment covers most census needs. Color coding (light blue, tan, and other tones) also lets some facilities flag fall-risk patients at a glance.

Care-Steps footwear suits hospitals, surgical recovery units, skilled nursing facilities, dialysis centers, and home discharge kits — anywhere a patient's first steps need traction.
