John Thornton Posey founded the J.T. Posey Company in 1937, when he built a foot cradle for a hospitalized friend who complained about the weight of the bedcovers on his bare feet. The hospital liked the idea, and asked for a price for 12 foot cradles. The Posey Company landed its first order, and made a profit of $12.
Since introducing its first fall monitor in 1992, the Posey Company has become the leading provider of innovative, restraint-free, fall management products. Posey fall management products quickly earned the confidence of health care providers, and in a recent survey published by Nursing Homes Magazine, caregivers ranked the Posey Company #1 in fall prevention. Recent product releases include the Sitter II® Fall Prevention Monitor, Hipsters® padded briefs, and the Floor Cushion fall mat.
