When should we get a hospital bed?

According to experts, a hospital bed is essential for individuals who are in their recovery phase and heavily dependent on it for basic mobility. Recognizing the conditions that warrant the need for a hospital bed can significantly enhance the comfort and quality of care provided at home.

Newcentury products are available globally, ensuring quality comes first. Our aim is to offer enhanced, high-value products to our customers, contributing to a brighter future together.

The necessity of a hospital bed at home can generally be evaluated from two perspectives:

1. The patient

2. The caregiver

From the patient's perspective

A hospital bed is often crucial for home care if the patient encounters the following challenges:

1. Mobility difficulties

2. Struggling to transition between sitting and lying down

3. Recovery needs from back or abdominal surgeries and injuries

4. Prolonged bed rest requirements

5. Regular caregiving and constant monitoring needed

6. High fall-risk levels due to conditions like cognitive decline or post-surgical recovery

From the caregiver's perspective

Consider the following questions when deciding on a hospital bed at home:

1. Does the caregiver need to assist the patient in shifting from lying to sitting on the bed?

2. Is there back pain experienced by the caregiver due to lifting or transferring the patient?

3. Does the bed need to be elevated to hip height for various caregiving tasks like diaper changes, feeding, or repositioning?

If your answers are predominantly 'yes,' it may be advisable to consider a hospital bed for home use.
