Long Term Care Hospital Beds for Home & Facility

Long-Term Care Beds for Nursing Homes, Assisted Living, and Home Care

Long term care hospital beds are built for extended daily use in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and private homes. These beds prioritize durability, ease of cleaning, caregiver ergonomics, and patient comfort over the advanced clinical features found in acute care beds. Standard features across our LTC bed collection include full-electric hi-low height adjustment, head and foot articulation, Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positioning, auto contour to reduce patient migration and skin shearing, and floor-lock systems for safe patient transfers.

Our long-term care beds offer ultra-low deck heights as low as 3.6 inches from the floor — one of the most effective fall-prevention features available. Models are available in standard 36” and wider 42” widths, with optional battery backup, under-bed lighting, and therapeutic mattresses. For patients with higher weight requirements, see our bariatric beds with capacities up to 1,000 lbs. If the patient needs help getting in and out of bed independently, our sleep-to-stand rotating beds eliminate the need for manual transfers entirely.

Every long-term care bed at SlumberSource includes optional white-glove delivery and professional installation. Call 888-912-2746 to discuss which bed fits your care plan and facility or home setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a long-term care bed?

A long-term care (LTC) bed is built for extended daily use over months or years in nursing homes, assisted living, and private homes. It prioritizes durability, easy cleaning, caregiver ergonomics, and patient comfort, with full-electric hi-low height, articulation, and fall-prevention features.

Are long-term care beds good for home use?

Yes. Ultra-low deck heights as low as 3.6 inches for fall prevention, hi-low height adjustment, and durable low-maintenance frames make LTC beds well suited to aging in place at home, not just facilities.

Does Medicare cover a long-term care bed?

Medicare Part B covers only a basic semi-electric hospital bed as durable medical equipment; full-featured hi-low LTC beds are generally private purchases. No prescription is required to purchase from SlumberSource.
