When should we get a hospital bed?

Generally speaking, a hospital bed is required at home when users are in their recuperation and/or recovery phases and are fully reliant on the hospital bed for basic movement.

Newcentury are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.

The need for a hospital bed can be assessed from 2 angles:

1. The patient

2. The caregiver

From the patient&#;s point of view

A hospital bed may be necessary for home care if the patient experiences these:

1. Mobility issues

2. Difficulty getting in and out of bed

3. Is recovering from back of abdominal surgery and injuries

4. Requires long periods of bed rest

5. Requires regular caregiving and monitoring

6. Has conditions with high fall-risk, for instance post-op recovery or cognitive decline

From the caregiver&#;s point of view

Here are some questions to ask yourself when considering a hospital bed at home:

1. Does the caregiver need to provide support to the senior to switch from laying to sitting position on the bed?

2. Does the caregiver experience backache from lifting the user up or transferring the patient onto wheelchairs?

3. Does the bed need to be raised up to hip level for comfort to assist the patient on bed for the following tasks: diaper changing, feeding, turning user etc

If you answer &#;yes&#; to these questions, a hospital bed in the home might be a good idea.
