Staying Comfortable in Healthcare Bed at Home: Choosing the Right Hospital Bed for Homecare

Author: Marketing Team - Statewide Home Health Care Date Posted: 10 July 2022

Sometimes, having a hospital bed at home is the best solution to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for ongoing care, recovery or treatment for a variety of conditions for children, adults, and seniors.

While there are different types of hospital beds on the market, Volker healthcare beds are among the best and have several features that make them a great choice.

Some of the benefits of choosing a Volker healthcare bed as a pediatric bed for a child are:

Safety- These beds have rails to protect your loved one and keep them safe. Or, if the rails are not required, they can be easily moved for transfers or additional independence.
Independence- Volker beds Australia come with a hand unit that can be easily controlled by you or your child in their pediatric hospital bed for home. This can give them some independence to position themselves in a way that is comfortable. And it means less work for you to ensure they are sitting or lying down comfortably.
Comfort- The micro-stimulation system in the Volker beds creates a comfortable surface. Volker beds also prevent pressure sores which can be a common problem for a child who requires a hospital bed.

There are 2 types of Volker beds in Australia to choose from:

Volker Health Care Bed 3080- This bed looks great and has all of the features of a hospital bed.
Volker 5384 Kepler Floor Line Bed- This bed is suited for people who are more likely to fall out of bed as it is positioned closer to the floor.

The Two Volker Beds are on display at Statewide Home Healthcare showroom in Bentleigh, Victoria. These can be viewed during our regular operating hours from 9 am-5 pm Monday to Friday, and 9 am to 12 noon on Saturdays.

If you are ready to purchase, it is also important to see if your NDIS plan will cover the purchase.

One of the eligible NDIS categories is “aids and equipment such as wheelchairs, adjustable beds, or hearing aids related to a person’s disability.” Having NDIS funding for an adjustable youth hospital bed can make the decision to purchase this important item much easier.

To help even further, Statewide Home Health Care offers trials where you can bring the bed home to ensure that it meets your needs. You can also hire these beds if you only require a pediatric hospital bed for a home for a shorter period of time.

We look forward to helping you make this important purchase as well.
