# Beds by Care Setting [ TOP](#top)

### [Homecare/Long Term Care Beds](#homecare)

### [Med/Surg Beds](#medsurg-beds-top)

This guide is a resource to assist you in choosing the type of bed you
need for your particular area of care. It is by no means a complete
list. You should do your own research and contact manufacturers for
current models and specifications as they may have changed since our
last update.

Beds can be purchased in many different configurations. Frames, various
siderail configurations, headboards, footboards, mattresses and many
accessories can be purchased separately or together depending upon your
needs. Specifications included are for the widest and longest sizes
available, for other height and width options see the manufacturers' web
sites.

We have not addressed the various types of mattresses available in the
marketplace, but depending upon your patient's needs, you can get
standard, foam, and specialty surfaces (such as air-assisted pressure
relief or treatment surfaces). Some of these mattress options also
feature anti-microbial covers. It is important to remember that all beds
have different deck dimensions and that not all mattresses fit all beds.
Please consult the manufacturer to assure that you are using the correct
size mattress for your bed.

Available options can include:

-   Exit alarm

-   Foot board at end of frame to keep patient from sliding down

-   Ability to adjust the height of the bed to a comfortable and safe
    working position for the caregiver as well as to lower the bed to
    the floor for patients at risk for falls.

-   Power assist to use as transport device

-   Scale

-   Turn assist

-   Chair position

## Homecare/Long Term Care Beds [* TOP*](#top)

[]{#homecare .anchor}Homecare beds are generally manufactured for ease
of use by home caregivers or for long-term care settings. The head and
footboards are usually available in wood-grain laminates to be more
aesthetically-pleasing.
