Electric 5 Function Nursing Bed for Professional Long-Term Care

This electric 5 function nursing bed combines an exceptionally low 100 mm platform position with a maximum working height of approximately 500 mm. It is designed for nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, long-term care centers and other environments where both resident safety and caregiver access need to be considered.

Unlike conventional height-adjustable beds that remain relatively high even at their lowest setting, this model can descend to approximately 10 cm from the floor. The complete platform then rises vertically to approximately 50 cm, giving caregivers a much more practical working height when performing routine bedside care.

In addition to electric height adjustment, the bed provides backrest elevation, knee-rest adjustment, Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positioning. Its foldable structure also makes the bed easier to store when temporarily removed from service.

100-500 mm Vertical Lifting Range

One Bed Height Range for Different Care Tasks

The 100-500 mm adjustment range is one of the most distinctive characteristics of this model. Instead of designing the bed around one conventional nursing height, the structure allows caregivers to select substantially different platform levels according to the current care situation.

Ultra-Low 100 mm Position

At its lowest setting, the mattress platform is positioned approximately 100 mm above floor level. This creates a very low resting position that can be useful in long-term care environments where reducing the distance between the resident and the floor is an important consideration.

Raised 500 mm Care Position

When nursing procedures, repositioning, linen changes or personal care are required, the entire sleeping platform can be raised to approximately 500 mm. This provides caregivers with improved access without requiring the resident to be transferred to another bed.

Vertical Lift with Minimal Longitudinal Movement

The height adjustment follows a vertical lifting principle. The platform moves predominantly upward and downward instead of travelling significantly toward the head or foot end as the height changes.

This is particularly practical in rooms where the bed is positioned close to walls, bedside furniture or other equipment. A more consistent bed footprint helps simplify room planning while also making routine height adjustment easier to manage.

Five Powered Functions for Flexible Positioning

1. Electric Backrest Elevation

The backrest can be electrically adjusted from approximately 0° to 75° ±5°. This allows users to move progressively from a horizontal resting position to a supported upper-body position.

Backrest elevation is useful during meals, reading, communication and other daily activities, while also giving caregivers more flexibility when arranging the resident's position.

2. Electric Knee-Rest Adjustment

The knee section provides an adjustment range of approximately 0° to 40° ±5°. Raising the knee section changes lower-body positioning and can be combined with backrest elevation to create different resting and semi-seated configurations.

3. Electric Whole-Bed Height Adjustment

The complete mattress platform moves between approximately 100 and 500 mm. This wide adjustment range differentiates the bed from standard electric nursing beds whose minimum height is normally considerably higher.

4. Trendelenburg Positioning

The complete bed platform provides approximately 0° to 12° ±2° of Trendelenburg adjustment, expanding the positioning options available to trained care personnel.

5. Reverse Trendelenburg Positioning

Reverse Trendelenburg adjustment of approximately 0° to 12° ±2° is also available. Together with backrest and knee adjustment, this gives facilities a more versatile positioning system than a basic three-function care bed.

Designed for Both Residents and Caregivers

Low Position for Resting, Raised Position for Nursing

A professional long-term care bed has to accommodate two different groups of users. Residents benefit from comfortable and appropriate positioning, while caregivers need practical access to perform everyday nursing activities.

The unusually wide height range helps address both requirements. The platform can remain near floor level when a very low resting position is preferred and then be raised electrically before caregivers begin bedside work.

Reducing Repetitive Bending During Care

Tasks such as changing bedding, repositioning a resident and assisting with personal care can require staff to work around the mattress for extended periods. Raising the complete platform provides a more accessible working position compared with carrying out every task while the bed remains at its minimum height.

No Manual Height Adjustment Required

The electric drive system allows the height and articulated sections to be adjusted through the handset. This eliminates the repetitive crank operation associated with manual nursing beds and simplifies frequent position changes during daily care.

Foldable Structure for Space-Efficient Storage

A Practical Difference for Facility Equipment Management

The ability to fold the bed is another important characteristic of this model. When temporarily unused, the bed structure can be folded into a substantially more compact configuration instead of occupying the full footprint of an assembled nursing bed.

Useful for Nursing Homes

Facilities often maintain spare beds for changes in occupancy, room maintenance or temporary care requirements. A foldable structure allows unused equipment to be organized more efficiently in designated storage areas.

Useful for Medical Equipment Distributors

For distributors handling multiple units, warehouse space becomes an important operating cost. The compact folded configuration can make inventory management more practical than storing every unit in its normal operating position.

Useful for Care Bed Rental Operations

Rental equipment frequently moves between active use, cleaning, maintenance and storage. A foldable bed provides additional flexibility during periods when the equipment is not assigned to a customer or facility.

Durable Steel Structure for Repeated Adjustment

Epoxy-Coated Steel Bed Frame

The main structure is manufactured from epoxy-coated steel, providing the rigid foundation required for repeated height changes and articulated positioning.

The surface treatment also gives the metal structure a clean appearance suitable for professional care environments.

Sectioned Steel Mattress Platform

The mattress support platform uses an articulated steel construction. Separate sections move with the backrest and knee-rest mechanisms while maintaining a stable supporting surface across the bed.

Four Electric Actuators

Four electric actuators power the adjustable movements. The system allows the caregiver to control the required bed positions through a wired handset rather than making mechanical adjustments manually.

Wood-Finish Head and Foot Panels

Although the internal structure is designed around the functional requirements of professional nursing equipment, the large wood-finish head and foot panels soften the overall appearance of the bed.

This combination is especially suitable for long-term residential care, where equipment may remain in the same room for months or years. The wood appearance helps the bed integrate more naturally with residential furniture than a conventional institutional-style medical bed.

Suitable for Care-Oriented Interior Design

The exterior makes this model appropriate for nursing homes, elderly care centers, assisted living facilities and rehabilitation residences that want professional electric positioning without creating an excessively clinical atmosphere.

Mobility and Individual Wheel Braking

Four Double-Sided Casters

The bed is fitted with four double-sided casters to support movement during room preparation, cleaning, maintenance and equipment repositioning.

Independent Braking System

Each caster incorporates an individual brake, allowing the bed to be secured after it has been positioned. This configuration provides a straightforward braking solution for routine long-term care use.

Why This Model Is Different from a Conventional Electric Nursing Bed

Many electric nursing beds provide backrest, leg and height adjustment, but their minimum platform height remains relatively high. The defining difference of this model is the combination of a five-function electric positioning system with an approximately 100 mm ultra-low minimum height.

The bed also uses a vertical lifting structure rather than relying on substantial longitudinal movement during height adjustment. For facilities with limited room space, this provides a more predictable footprint around surrounding furniture.

Finally, the foldable frame introduces a storage advantage that is not commonly found on conventional long-term care beds. Together, these characteristics position the model as a specialized Nursing Bed rather than simply another standard electric adjustable bed.

Recommended Applications

Long-Term Care Facilities

The wide height range and multiple electric adjustments make the bed suitable for facilities managing residents with different mobility and positioning requirements.

Nursing Homes and Elderly Care Centers

The ultra-low resting position, raised caregiver working position and warmer wood-finish appearance are particularly relevant to residential elderly care environments.

Rehabilitation Facilities

Independent backrest, knee-rest, height and whole-bed tilt adjustments give rehabilitation staff greater flexibility when arranging different positions according to individual care requirements.
