Homecare Beds

Choosing the right homecare bed starts with understanding the different types available. Each style is designed for a specific level of care, mobility, and caregiver involvement. Here is a breakdown of the most common options in 2026.right rollator with padded seat means finding one that fits your body and your living space. The ProLine 810 walker has been engineered with practical dimensions that work in tight hallways and wide-open spaces alike.

Fully electric homecare beds allow the patient or caregiver to adjust the head position, foot position, and overall bed height using a simple hand-held remote. This is the most convenient and widely recommended option for patients with limited mobility or caregivers managing care alone.

Our full-electric homecare beds include spring deck frames and three linear motors for smooth, quiet operation. Models like the Full Electric Homecare Bed w/ Spring Deck are rated up to 450 lb weight capacity, making them suitable for a wide range of patients.

A semi-electric homecare bed uses electric motors to adjust head and foot positions, but relies on a hand crank for height adjustment. This makes them a cost-effective middle-ground option. Manual homecare beds are fully hand-crank operated and are best suited for patients who need basic repositioning support.

Our semi-electric homecare bed with spring deck and dual linear motors provides reliable performance at an accessible price point — ideal for long-term home care and post-surgery recovery.

Hi-low homecare beds are specially designed to adjust from a very low position (close to the floor) to a standard working height. This dual functionality improves patient safety by reducing fall risk when the bed is in the low position, while giving caregivers an ergonomic working height to assist with transfers, bathing, and dressing.

Adjustable homecare beds with hi-low function are especially recommended for elderly patients at risk of falls and for caregivers managing patients with high dependency needs.

Bariatric homecare beds are reinforced beds designed for patients who require extra width and a higher weight capacity. Our 42" Bariatric Full Electric Bed features a solid deck frame and supports up to 600 lb, providing a safe and comfortable sleep surface for larger patients.

Bariatric home care beds for patients with higher weight needs include wider sleeping surfaces (typically 42"–48") and heavy-duty frames. If you are caring for a bariatric patient at home, selecting a properly rated bed is essential for both safety and comfort.

Not all homecare beds are created equal. When selecting a medical bed for home use, look for these essential features to ensure the best outcomes for both patients and caregivers.

• Height adjustment: Electric or manual height controls make transfers safer and reduce caregiver back strain.
• Head and foot elevation: Adjustable positions relieve pressure, improve circulation, and help manage conditions like acid reflux and edema.
• Side safety rails: A homecare bed with rails helps prevent nighttime falls and gives patients a grip point when repositioning.
• Locking casters: Wheels that lock firmly in place ensure the bed stays stable during transfers and repositioning.
• Weight capacity: Always verify the bed's rated capacity. Standard models support up to 450 lb; bariatric homecare beds support 600 lb or more.
• Trendelenburg positioning: Advanced models offer Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positions to assist with specific medical conditions and post-surgical recovery.

The right homecare bed accessories can significantly improve safety and quality of life. Common add-ons for home care beds for elderly patients and long-term care users include:

• Overbed tables: Swivel or non-tilt overbed tables allow patients to eat, read, or use a laptop without leaving bed. Our Non-Tilt Spring Loaded Overbed Table fits most standard homecare bed frames.
• Trapeze bars: Mounted above the bed, trapeze bars help patients reposition themselves independently, reducing the burden on caregivers.
• Pressure relief mattresses: A quality homecare bed mattress is critical for patients spending extended time in bed. Pressure-redistributing foam or alternating air mattresses help prevent pressure ulcers.
• Bed wedges: Foam wedges provide additional head or leg elevation for patients who need positional support between electric adjustments.
• Bed extensions: Our Bed Extension for HC8000/HC8500 beds adds length to accommodate taller patients comfortably.
