Brand Name or Equal  

Salient Characteristics

Functions to be performed: The Richmond VA Medical Center Community Living Center currently uses Joerns bed systems for elderly resident care. The items needed are to be brand named or equal to the Joerns EasyCare adjustable hospital beds with the ProCair mattresses. Décor must be in line with a home-like atmosphere. Therefore, the Interior Designer has selected the laminate spiced cherry headboard and footboard colors. Additionally, the beds must be adjustable, mobile, and provide safety features for residents and staff members. Ten standard beds are required, as well as one bariatric-rated bed for the one bariatric resident room.

Performance required: The beds must have laminate panels to math a home-like atmosphere. The wheels at the four corners of the bedframe must be able to turn 360 degrees. There must also be a lockable wheel feature to ensure beds will not move when stationary. The beds will be stationed in individual resident rooms, but they must also be mobile for transferring residents when necessary. The beds will include mattresses, air pumps, and adjustable bed rails.
