Request Hospital Bed Repair →Medical Equipment Repair Network serves skilled nursing facilities, assisted living and memory care communities, independent living centers, and long-term care facilities that rely on hospital-grade beds for resident care. We do not serve acute-care hospitals — our focus is exclusively on the long-term and post-acute care setting, where beds are used daily, year-round, and quick repairs keep residents safe and surveys ready.
Our technicians service all common long-term care bed types and brands:
Brands serviced: Stryker (MedSurg, InTouch, Advantage), Hill-Rom (Baxter), Invacare, Joerns, Drive Medical, Medline, and other major LTC bed manufacturers.
A malfunctioning hospital bed in a skilled nursing facility creates cascading problems. A resident who can't be repositioned is at risk for pressure injuries — a deficiency CMS surveyors flag directly. A broken Hi-Lo function means staff manually lifting residents instead of using proper positioning. A failed bed exit alarm is a fall risk.
Beyond resident safety, a documented repair history for your bed fleet supports compliance during CMS surveys and Joint Commission audits. Our technicians provide a service report after every visit — including what was repaired, parts replaced, and the equipment's post-repair status — giving you ready documentation for your equipment files.

FDA guidance identifies seven zones where a resident can become entrapped between the rails, mattress and frame, and rail or mattress problems can turn into falls. A bed with a damaged cord or failing motor is also an electrical hazard, which is why beds are part of PCREE electrical safety testing. A qualified biomedical technician checks function, rails and entrapment gaps, and electrical safety, and documents each bed.
| What staff notice | Likely cause | Safety concern |
|---|---|---|
| Head or foot won't move, or moves slowly | Motor, actuator or control box failure | Resident stuck in an unsafe position; staff injury repositioning |
| Bed drifts down or moves on its own | Actuator or control fault | Falls, pinch points |
| Pendant buttons intermittent | Damaged cord or pendant | Unexpected movement |
| Rails wobble or won't latch | Worn latch or mounting hardware | Entrapment and falls |
| Gap between mattress and rail | Wrong or compressed mattress | Entrapment |
| Grinding or clicking noises | Worn gears, linkage or bearings | Imminent failure |
| Cracked plug, frayed cord | Cord pinched under frame or casters | Shock and fire risk |
