When an adult needs a safety bed
For adults with cognitive or neurological conditions, night-time is often when falls and injuries happen. An enclosed or high-sided safety bed can help when supervision, alarms and ordinary bed rails are not enough.
- Falls when getting out of bed confused or disoriented at night
- Night-time wandering and exit-seeking, common with dementia
- Getting trapped in the gaps of ordinary or hospital bed rails
- Involuntary movements that cause injuries against hard surfaces
- Climbing over rails, or getting out of bed during or after seizures

Insurance coverage for adult special needs beds
Medicaid and many private plans can cover an enclosed safety bed for an adult as durable medical equipment when a doctor documents that it is medically necessary, usually with prior authorization. Coverage varies more for adults than for children, so we check your plan first. The letter of medical necessity should describe:
What the letter of medical necessity should cover
- The diagnosis and how it affects safety at night
- Falls, injuries, wandering or entrapment incidents, with dates
- What has been tried, such as bed alarms, low beds, floor mats or extra supervision, and why it was not enough
- Why the requested bed is needed and how the person will be supervised
Original Medicare coverage for enclosed safety beds is limited; coverage more often comes through Medicaid or private insurance. Call us and we will check what your plan covers.

Frequently asked questions about beds for adults & dementia
Can adults get a special needs bed through insurance?
Yes, when it is medically necessary. Medicaid and many private plans can cover an enclosed safety bed for adults, usually with prior authorization. Coverage varies by plan, so Healthcare DME checks your benefits before anything is ordered.
What is the best bed for an adult with dementia who gets out of bed at night?
The Courtney Bed is designed for people with cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia, and SleepSafe® beds with taller rails suit adults who climb. The doctor should confirm the choice based on how the person moves at night.
Does Medicare cover an enclosed safety bed?
Original Medicare coverage for enclosed safety beds is limited. Coverage more often comes through Medicaid or private insurance. Call us and we will check your plan, including Medicare Advantage plans.
Do you have Queen size safety beds?
Yes. SleepSafe® beds are built in Twin, Full or Queen sizes, and the Courtney Bed comes in standard and queen sizes.
Can a safety bed have hospital bed features?
Yes. Many SleepSafe® models can be built on manual or electric HI-LO and articulating foundations, so caregivers get height and position adjustment with the safety of padded rails.
Is an enclosed bed a restraint for an adult?
A safety bed is prescribed to protect a person during sleep, not to restrain them, and caregivers must be able to see and reach the person. The documentation should focus on the safety risks caused by the condition. Rules differ in care facilities, so check with the facility's care team.
