Default Stair gate for elderly person

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?
