What functions should a home care bed have?

Home care beds should usually have the following functions to meet the needs of home care and patient comfort:

Height adjustment: Home care beds should have a height adjustment function so that they can be adjusted according to the needs of patients and the working height of caregivers to ensure ease of care and patient comfort.

Back and leg lifting: The head and foot of the bed should be raised and lowered respectively to facilitate the patient to sit or lie flat, and the angle can be adjusted as needed to provide a more comfortable position.

Safety handrails: There should be safety handrails or guardrails beside the bed to ensure that patients do not accidentally fall on the bed and to facilitate patients to get up or get into bed independently.

Locking wheels: The wheels on the bed frame should be lockable to ensure that the bed's position can be fixed to provide stable support when needed.

Accessible transfers: Beds should be designed to accommodate patient transfers, including leaving space next to the bed to facilitate the use of wheelchairs or walkers.

Comfortable mattress: A mattress should provide enough support and comfort to reduce pressure and prevent the development of bedsores.

Easy to clean: The surface material of the bed should be easy to clean to facilitate daily hygiene and cleaning.
