A resident goes over the side rail at 2 a.m. and hits a floor that's 25 inches down. That's a hip, an ambulance, a survey finding, a family meeting, and a lawyer's letter — from one bed that was too high. Med-Mizer builds beds that go to the floor.
We're not going to tell you every bed is right for you. Three of these four probably aren't. Find the one that is.
If a resident rolls out of this bed, they have less than four inches to fall. That's the whole point. It also expands to 42″ at the touch of a button and holds 600 lb — so you stop keeping three different frames in storage for three different residents.
Buy this if: you have high fall-risk residents, bariatric residents, or you're tired of owning four bed types to cover one census.
You already know what happens when a 500-pound resident is in a 35-inch bed: it takes more staff to do everything, everyone's back is at risk, and the resident loses their dignity daily. This one expands to 48″ at the push of a button and carries 800 lb. It also breaks down in minutes to get through a tight doorway.
Buy this if: you're taking bariatric admissions — or turning them away.
A 9″ deck cuts the distance of a fall. But the real trick is the frame: it retracts when the head raises, so the resident can actually reach their own nightstand — and your staff can get a wheelchair to the foot of the bed. Evac Position™ narrows it to fit through doors under 36″.
Buy this if: your rooms are cramped, your fall numbers are ugly, or both.
Here's the thing nobody says out loud: families resist the hospital bed. It's the moment the house stops being a home and starts being a ward. SelectCare is a real clinical bed — 600 lb, 10″ deck, one-button Trendelenburg — that comes in four finishes and doesn't announce itself.
Buy this if: you're placing beds in homes, assisted living, or hospice — where dignity and the family's comfort matter as much as the specs.
Plenty of facilities are getting by. If your fall numbers are clean, your staff aren't getting injured, and you're not turning away bariatric admissions because nothing in your building fits them — keep what you have. We'll be here when that changes.
But if you already know which resident is going to fall next, and you've already had the conversation about it in your morning meeting — that's not a bed problem you can staff your way out of.
The ActiveCare bed stands a patient up and rotates them at the press of a button — turning a two-person transfer into a one-button task.
Book a call. We'll ask about your census, your falls, and your rooms — and tell you straight if none of these are the answer.
