What type of bed is made for a resident who is out of bed most of the day?

The most suitable type of bed for a resident who is out of bed most of the day is an open bed. This type of bed is typically made when a resident is getting in and out frequently. It allows for easy access for the resident, facilitating their return to bed without the need for excessive rearranging of bedding.

The concept of an open bed involves folding down the top linens and spreading them out to invite the resident back into bed, while also promoting a comfortable environment. It contrasts with a closed bed, which is made when a resident is not expected to return, hence the linens are kept neatly tucked in and closed off.

A surgical bed is specifically designed with consideration for patients who may need assistance getting in and out after surgery, often featuring parts of the bed that can be adjusted. A hospitality bed, while pleasant for visitors or temporary stays, doesn’t pertain to the needs of a resident who is active and in and out of their bed regularly. Thus, an open bed best meets the needs of a resident who is out of bed most of the day.
