Guide on getting the best small hospital bed for home use

• Full electric all the way

Try as much as possible to buy a fully electric bed because it will save you a lot of trouble adjusting the bed as well as making the patient feel somehow independent since they can still do this on their own with a wireless remote or pendant control

• Movement sensors for elderly

Make sure to install a bed exit alarm as seniors with dementia are highly likely to wander away and fall from the bed as they try to move about unsupervised.

• Side rails

Always have the best and safest side rails to prevent falls and hurt.

• Pad the rails

Install some padded material on your rails for seizure precautions.

• Lock bed casters

Always have the bed casters in a locked position unless you are moving the bed.

• Dry floor

Always have the floor next to the bed dry since a patient could slip and fall while getting up from it if the floor is wet.
