You will often be moving around your room (even just getting out of bed) without slippers and they can help to protect you. The hospital I was in didn't provide anything.

Why to move around without slippers?
A lot of patients slip and fall in hospitals. I think they provide non skid socks to limit their liability for further injury!

So you mean, actually there is no specially benefits to use non-skid socks without slippers.
As you know, wearing non-skid socks was quite difficulty for me at that time. Finally I gave up wearing non-skid socks after the first day in the ward.
The non-skid socks are quite effective on their own merits. Besides preventing slip and fall accidents, they can be a substitute for slippers for any patient that forgets to bring their own.
