How much caregiver access is available to the patient?
If a caregiver is continuously available to make adjustments to the homecare bed, a manual bed may be the best option. If there is no caregiver or if the caregiver is only available part-time, a fully electric bed may be better so that the patient can adjust their positioning at any time.
What length of time will the bed be used?
Spring-back mattresses are typically considered 'uncomfortable' and are recommended for short-term use. If the length of time needed is longer than 2 months, a deluxe medical bed for home use may be a better choice.
