Preparing for your hospital bed delivery
Simple steps to get the room ready so setup goes smoothly.
Key takeaways
- Pick a spot near a grounded outlet with space on one side for care.
- Clear doorways and remove the old bed/furniture beforehand.
- We assemble the bed, attach rails and mattress, test the controls, and train you.
Pick the right spot
Choose a location with space on at least one side for care and transfers, and room for the head and foot to raise. Near a window or the rest of the household can help morale.
Power & cords
Electric and semi-electric beds need a nearby grounded wall outlet. Keep the power cord clear of walkways to prevent trips.
Measure & clear the path
Make sure doorways and hallways are clear for delivery, and remove or relocate the old bed or furniture beforehand if we're replacing it.
Bedding
Standard sheets may not fit a hospital-bed mattress — ask us and we'll point you to the right size.
We handle the rest
Our technician assembles the bed, attaches the rails and mattress, tests the controls, and trains you before leaving.
