Mobility Bed Anyone who is disabled, cares for someone who is disabled or who has got mobility problems will understand that doing everyday and relatively simple ‘normal’ things can be fraught with problems.Getting into and out of bed is often one of the biggest hurdles that people face on a daily basis and being in bed and being comfortable in bed is a crucial part of life.
Those of us who are lucky enough to be fit and healthy do not appreciate how much hard work it can be to care for someone who has got limited mobility.
Think about it …..
The carer often puts their own health and back at risk by having to do heavy lifting and it is more than possible that they may not be strong enough to lift the person at all.
The person who has got limited mobility needs all the help they can get to make doing simple tasks as easy as possible and this is why a mobility bed is so important.They also need furniture that supports them more than an able bodied person and a mobility bed can do this.
So, what is a ‘mobility bed’?
It is what it says it is a ‘mobility bed’ – a bed that will give back a certain degree of independence to people with limited mobility and that will also give the carer help and support.
Features of a mobility bed are
- Fully adjustable frame which means that no matter what position the person needs to be in to get comfortable the bed can be adjusted quickly and easily electrically so no lifting effort is required.
- The ability to raise the head of the mobility bed to upright which means that getting into and out of bed is not only easier but far safer as the person is less likely to fall backwards.
- The adjustable frame makes it easy to elevate the legs and feet and this helps to guard against oedema and as adjustments can be made as often as required this also means that the incidence of pressure sores can also be reduced.
