Human beings are estimated to spend over a third of our lives sleeping. For the average person, this equates to over 200,000 hours spent in bed. In the same way that shoes provide safety and comfort for our feet, a bed should provide safety and comfort for your entire body. Our beds are expertly crafted to provide maximum safety and total body wellness, allowing patients to safely change position without the risk of falling. These advanced safety measures can be the difference maker between a healthy home patient and a costly trip to the hospital.

It is recommended that patients with Stage 4 pressure ulcers use a low air loss mattress in order to properly treat pressure ulcers.
Gel Mattress Overlays can be put on any bed and provide an essential barrier between patients and the surfaces they're bound to regularly. Incontinent patients with mobility limitations may be particularly susceptible to pressure ulcers due to moisture. Moisture can exaggerate and hasten skin breakdown, leading to more pressure ulcers that form faster. You do not have to order a hospital bed in order to get a gel mattress overlay, as these mattresses fit on beds of all types.

We offer a number of options to choose the bed that’s right for you. There are no additional documentation requirements for bed rails. All patients who qualify for a bed also qualify for bed rails and a gel mattress overlay for bed sore and pressure ulcer prevention.
Many patients are safe in beds without rails, but, as you age, you may want the addition security that half rails offer. This will allow the patient to be safe in bed, while also preserving independence and the ability to get in and out of the bed alone. At some point, you and your caregiver may determine that full rails that completely limit your ability to get in and out of bed are appropriate.

Make sure to document that the patient needs to have their head elevated more than 30 degrees. In addition, list the reason why the patient needs their head elevated.

In order for a patient to qualify, they need to have a condition that requires their body to be positioned in ways not possible in an ordinary bed. Make sure to list this condition and why a regular bed won’t suffice.
If the patient suffers from pain related to certain body positions, make sure to document this. List how repositioning the patient will alleviate these pains and why these pains cannot be alleviated in an ordinary bed.
