Do you or a loved one need a hospital bed for their home? When choosing the right hospital bed for you or your loved one, making the right choice can be difficult. And there are many things to consider before purchasing a hospital bed. Here are five things to consider when choosing a homecare bed.
Power Features
Is your loved one, or your loved one’s caregiver, looking for a bed with more control in adjusting its frame? Then a hospital bed with power features is what you need. Not only can you change the frame with the push of a button, but Homecare beds also make caring for your loved one simpler.
So when searching for what kind of power features you need in a hospital bed, remember. Fully electric beds give loved ones and their caregivers more control of the bed frame adjustment - adjusting the head and foot with a push of a button. Even though the height of the bed frame may be fixed in one position, semi-electric beds allow for the adjustment of the head and foot with the push of a button on a remote. If you are looking for a more economical option, then the semi-electric bed is what you need. But even though it is a more economical option, the fixed bed frame height may make caring for a loved one difficult.
Weight and Size Capacity
One of the most essential features to consider when purchasing a home care bed for your loved one is its weight and size capacity. This is because serious injury can happen if the bed frame limits are exceeded. But that isn’t the only reason to consider the weight and size capacity options. If you want to be in bed with your loved one, or even if you want to relax when desired, you should consider a bed with additional weight capacity and width.
Bed Frame Movement
How the bed moves is an important feature to consider when searching for the right home care bed for your home. While some beds are fixed at a set height, others can be adjusted to higher or lower positions - which is very helpful for loved ones who are fall risks or who might refuse to ask for assistance. On their own or with assistance from a caregiver, the adjustable bed frame will help in assisting loved ones with getting in and out of bed by adjusting to the appropriate height - all you have to do is push a button.
Side Rail and Grab Bar Options
When considering a home care bed for your loved one, side rails and grab bars have many purposes for home care beds. Whether full or half-length, Side rails and grab bars support your loved ones when they get into bed, out of bed, or while repositioning themselves. And remember, to prevent injury, side rails and grab bars must be securely attached to the bed frame!
