In the UK, there are no specific NHS criteria for getting a hospital bed at home. But if a carer needs to perform certain hygiene and care tasks, then a GP, or a social care worker can arrange for a hospital bed to be put in someone’s home.

The transition to a bed with sides can also reduce the mental burden on family members and caregivers. Knowing that their loved one is sleeping in a secure environment allows families to rest easier, alleviating some of the worries associated with caregiving. These beds foster independence, allowing elderly individuals to feel more secure while still enjoying the comfort of their own space.
