Falls are one of the most common injuries for older people who live at home. Opting the perfect low height hospital bed can have several positive implications on fall risk and comfort and support. Choose from a selection of adjustable hospital beds that accommodate all care levels, disabilities and ease-of-use when living at home or in Oakville.
🧠 Why Short Hospital Beds Matter to Seniors
Waterbeds are available with different types of support, such as free flow, semi-waveless and waveless.l These beds offer more support than traditional waterbeds; however they sacrifice comfort because the water has been replaced by air. Low-rise hospital beds can be lowered close to the floor, reducing transfers that are more challenging for seniors while giving peace of mind to caregivers receiving a break.
