Attendant Control, sometimes called Staff Control, is an extra control panel located at the footboard or side rail of a hospital bed.
It gives caregivers, nurses, or family members the ability to adjust the bed’s positions and safety features without relying on the patient’s hand remote.
Purpose of Attendant Control
The main goal of attendant control is to improve safety, convenience, and ease of care.
It allows caregivers to quickly reposition or lock certain functions based on the patient’s needs.
Key Features
- Full Bed Control: Lets caregivers raise or lower the head, knee, or entire bed height directly from the footboard panel.
- Lockout Function: Allows staff to disable the patient hand control for safety (helpful for patients at risk of falling or accidental adjustments).
- Quick Access: Controls are positioned where caregivers naturally stand, saving time during transfers or care tasks.
- Optional Upgrade: On many hospital beds, Attendant Control is available as an add-on or upgrade feature.
Who Benefits From Attendant Control
- Caregivers and Nurses: Simplifies patient repositioning and safety management.
- Home Care Settings: Ideal for family caregivers who need quick, reliable access to bed adjustments.
- Facilities: Common in nursing homes, rehab centers, and hospitals for added safety and control.
