Getting a hospital bed for home? Measure before it arrives.
A bed that fits on paper can still leave too little room for daily care. Before delivery, write down:
• The clear floor space where the bed will stand (not the room's listed size)
• The delivery route from your entrance to the room: doorways, tight turns, steps and thresholds
• Room for caregivers to reach the person, plus any wheelchair or patient lift
Ask for the exact bed's overall assembled dimensions, not just the mattress size. Then send your sketch, measurements and photos to Medical Equipment Specialists so we can review the layout with you.
We help families in Martin, St. Lucie and Palm Beach counties choose equipment that fits the patient and the home.
