An elderly lady that I do odd jobs for has been recommended to have a safety gate fitted at the top of her stairs (she's in a first floor flat). Her bedroom door is immediately opposite the top of the stairs and there's a concern that she might get up in the night and walk out the bedroom door and forget to turn right or left!
A hinged gate is not really suitable - a bit obstructive when open, and I think that baby safety gates are too low (she might just tip over the top). Tried googling but all I get is baby gates.
Any suggestions?
