Adjustable Beds for Seniors

A home hospital bed allows elderly people to maintain a degree of independence in comfort and safety. Many elderly people struggle to sit up unaided, although once they are sat up, they can stand up without help. The head adjustment on a home hospital bed gives them the support they need to go from lying down to sitting up.

For elderly people who suffer from circulation problems, the head and foot adjustments and cardiac chair positions help to improve blood flow and reduce the side effects of poor circulation.

Elderly wheelchair users benefit from a Hi-Low (height) adjustment, which expedites transfers between the bed and their wheelchair and reduces the likelihood of slipping or falling. For elderly people with significant mobility issues, a home hospital bed facilitates caregivers to carry out their daily care routine.

All of our beds feature remote controlled motorized adjustments. Electric beds for the elderly allow seniors and caregivers to control the bed easily and safely without the inconvenience and safety risks associated with manual adjustment.

Home hospital bed accessories that may benefit elderly people include:

• Bed rails with rail covers.
• Controls adapted for people with poor eyesight or limited dexterity.
• Transfer aids such as a transfer board for wheelchair users.
• For people with limited mobility, a Hoyer Lift may be necessary. The Supernal 5 is compatible with low-profile Hoyer Lift Systems, while the Supernal Hi-Low is perfect for higher-profile Hoyer Systems.

Hospital beds should be used with a hospital bed mattresses designed to work with adjustable beds. Standard consumer mattresses are not usually compatible with head and foot adjustments. A hospital bed mattress can also reduce the incidence of pressure sores (decubitus) as well as being more comfortable for extended stays in bed. A pressure-relief mattress aids healing and provides relief from the discomfort of pressure sores.
