Sleeping sound and rising safely with the aid of Tampa home medical equipment, including hospital beds, patient lifts, and bedroom accessories.
Nothing beats a good night’s sleep. And rest is one of the most powerful healing tools we have.
Unfortunately, overnight accidents can be incredibly dangerous. At a time when the lights are out, less help is around, and patients are more likely to be disoriented, it’s paramount to have safety measures in place to prevent falls and other accidents.
Additionally, today’s home medical equipment for the bedroom allows for better care and more independent living, so that people can continue to live comfortably at home.
Best of all, with Tampa home medical equipment rentals from Helios, you don’t have to make a full investment in expensive items. We offer an extensive selection of items for weekly or monthly rental, and we can even do home delivery throughout the Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties, as well as south Hernando.
Hospital Beds for the Home
While a bed may seem like a straightforward concept, specially designed, fully electric hospital beds entail a number of features that ensure added comfort, safety, and convenience for people with a variety of medical conditions.
- Adjustable height: Whole bed raises and lowers for easier access for caretaker or a safer height for patient.
- Adjustable head and feet: Patient can sit up and lower themselves to more comfortable positions.
- Rails: Barriers on either side lower the risk of falls.
- Hand-held controller: Patient or caretaker can control the bed with the push of a button.
Patient Lifts and Trapezes
Another issue with seniors and other patients can be difficulty in sitting up, transferring to a standing position, or transferring to a wheelchair. And of course, caretakers have limited ability to aid in this process without home medical equipment.
Patient lifts, whether electronic or manual, allow a person with mobility issues to be moved from one spot to another with little effort. These machines, when equipped with a sling, can carry your fully body weight.
Trapezes, primarily attached to the bed, are hanging handles that a patient can grab in order to use their upper body strength to assist in sitting up or rolling over.
Hospital Tables, Commodes, and Other Home Bedroom Medical Equipment
In addition to bed safety and comfort, other bedroom equipment is available to rent to make day-to-day life more convenient and accessible for seniors and patients with limited mobility.
- Over-the-bed tables provide ease in eating, writing, and other activities for bed-bound patients.
- Commodes bring toilets to a more accessible location.
- Ramps allow for ease in moving mobility aids throughout the home.
- And of course, wheelchairs and patient transport chairs are vital for those with limited mobility.
