a support surface adapted to support thereon an occupant of the person support apparatus; and
an exit detection system adapted to issue an alert if the occupant of the person support apparatus is moving toward exiting the support surface, the exit detection system including a plurality of user-selectable modes, wherein a first mode of the plurality of user-selectable modes takes into account a characteristic of the occupant in determining whether or not the occupant is moving toward exiting the support surface, and wherein a second mode of the plurality of user-selectable modes does not take into account the characteristic of the occupant in determining whether or not the occupant is moving toward exiting the support surface.
