Why a hospital bed rental improves care

  • Locking casters keep the bed from rolling during transfers.
  • Keeping the bed at the lowest position when unattended reduces fall injuries.
  • Keeping cords clear and the remote secure prevents trips and accidental movement.

Practical tips

  • Keep at least one clear side of the bed free for caregivers.
  • Never raise the head section onto a wall or furniture.
  • Plug the bed into a wall outlet, not an extension cord.
