Determining the type of hospital bed

Determining the type of hospital bed

A home care hospital bed is capable of supporting patients for both long and short term care. Home care hospital beds are primarily used in home settings where a patient is either confined to a bed with an impaired ability to raise their head or legs. A home care hospital bed can also be used for short term patients recovering from surgery.

A home care hospital bed is a great alternative for patients who need the functionality of a hospital bed without the need to remain in the hospital. It can help reduce medical expenses, aid in the healing process, and reduce the amount of time spent in the hospital. Determining the type of bed you need is not difficult; a patient’s strength, size and abilities need to be considered. Piedmont Medical is one of the largest re-conditioners of Home Care Hospital Beds.

Do you need a hospital bed?

Well, Piedmont Medical can make it very easy for you. We have more hospital beds reconditioned or used in stock than all the dealers in the USA combined.

Choices range from manual to full-electric. Factors in the choice include user needs, caregiver availability, cost and comfort.

Manual Bed Frames - These beds are just that, manual. All functions such as raising and lowering the head or adjusting the height of the bed are done with a hand-crank. These home-quality beds are appropriate when there is someone around who can make the adjustments and when cost is a factor.

Semi-Electric - A semi-electric bed is a choice that increases function and independence while still being sensitive to cost.  A semi-electric home-quality bed has electric controls for raising and lowering the head and feet but a manual crank for adjusting the height of the bed.

Full-Electric Home-Quality Beds - These beds do it all with a touch of a button, giving the bed-user full control and independence.  All adjustments are made through the electric controls.  And don't worry both semi and full-electric beds can be adjusted manually in case of a power outage.
