One of the primary considerations when selecting aged care beds is the importance of mobility and accessibility. Many older adults experience challenges with movement due to conditions like arthritis, dementia, or after stroke recovery. Height-adjustable beds can allow residents to get in and out of bed more easily, while electric beds provide staff with the tools to adjust positions with minimal effort. Such features not only enhance the comfort of the residents but also help reduce the risk of injury for caregivers during resident transfers.

When selecting a bed with bed rails, several factors should be considered. The height of the bed, the materials used, and the adjustability of the rails are crucial elements that contribute to the overall effectiveness of the bed. It is essential to choose a bed that suits the specific needs of the user, taking into account their mobility level, preferences, and bedroom layout.
