Well, Hospital Beds safety should include plans for testing the hospital bed at least once a week. 

Testing may be appropriate when (1) there is reason to believe that some components are worn (e.g., rails wobble, rails have been damaged, mattresses are softer) and could cause increased spaces within the hospital bed system, (2) when accessories such as mattress overlays or positioning poles are added or removed, or (3) when components of the hospital bed system (e.g., new bed rails or mattresses) are changed or replaced.

Choosing a Home Hospital bed

Choosing a Home Hospital bed

Home hospital beds serve a very important purpose. They provide families with the ability to care for their loved-ones at home instead of placing them in an extended-care facility. In addition to providing family members with a very loving level of care, families are still able to provide family members with quality care when affordability becomes an issue.

Home Hospital Beds …. Selecting the Right Bed

Although families can sometimes select the type of bed they feel will best serve their loved-one’s needs, in some cases their options become limited to the type of bed prescribed by the patient’s physician. When the bed is to be used on a short-term basis, by a patient who is recovering from major surgery, families can choose a manual, semi-electric, or fully electric model. As long as the bed provides the ability to raise and lower the head and feet it should fit the patient’s needs just fine.

How to determine what kind of hospital bed you will need

In the case of dementia patients families should consider a fully electric model that can be lowered very close to the floor, equipped with side-rails. Patients who will need long-term care, such as individuals with burn and spinal cord injuries, will be prescribed a specific type of bed by their physicians.

Selecting the Right Mattress for your  Hospital Bed at Home

Selecting the right mattress for the home hospital bed is very important. Depending upon the patient’s needs, families can choose from:

Standard Mattresses

Air Mattresses

Therapeutic Mattresses

The most commonly used standard mattress is the standard model, available with foam or inner spring construction. Air and therapeutic mattresses are similar in purpose; they are designed to reduce the amount of pressure placed on the patient’s body. They can use either air of foam to accomplish this goal, some models use microprocessors to control their constant deflating and inflating.

Selecting the Right Accessories for your Home Hospital Bed

There are a number of accessories available for home hospital beds. The trapeze, for example, is designed to either assist the patient in shifting their position in bed or move from the bed to a chair. One style of trapeze is mounted directly onto the bed’s frame. It enables the patient to re-position themselves while lying in bed, as well as assist them in moving them to and from the bed.

A trapeze

A free-standing trapeze can be moved throughout the room, they assist the patient in movement once he/she is sitting in a chair. Unless the patient is ambulatory, able to join the family for meals, an “over bed” table will be needed. This accessory is available in several different models, some offering several angle positions to make it easier for the patient to eat or perform other activities.

Bedside cabinets come in a number of styles, the most common containing three-drawers. These units are used to store the patient’s personal items as well as items which are used throughout the day for patient care.

Piedmont Medical can make your life easier

The accessories you choose, like the bed and mattress, should meet the needs of the patient and caregiver. Any extra that would be able to fulfill a particular medical need, or make it easier to care for the patient, should be considered.

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.
