Alerta Lomond Community Bed - Electric Profiling Bed for Nursing Home and Community Care
The Alerta Lomond Community Bed is a four-section electric profiling bed designed for nursing homes, residential care settings and community care placements where a lower height profile and tool-free setup are priorities. The 30cm minimum height differentiates the Community from the Standard Bed and supports patient entry and exit from a closer-to-floor position, reducing fall risk during bed transfers. Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positioning, a 10-function lockable handset and a 200kg SWL provide the clinical capability required for complex care needs across community settings.

Regulatory Compliance
The Lomond Community Bed meets BS EN 60601-2-52 requirements for medical electrical equipment in medical bed applications. Height adjustment to 30cm addresses MHOR 1992 manual handling guidance by reducing postural strain on carers during low-level patient care tasks. The 10-function lockable handset supports CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care and Treatment) through precise positioning for pressure care, respiratory management and post-operative care protocols. NICE NG147 (Falls in Older People) falls prevention guidance is supported by the 30cm minimum height and compatibility with Lomond extra-high side rails. Where side rails are fitted, MHRA bed rail safety guidance requires a documented risk assessment covering the seven entrapment zones and, where applicable, a Mental Capacity Act 2005 assessment prior to fitting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Lomond Community Bed and the Lomond Standard Bed?
The Community Bed has a 30cm minimum height compared to 40cm on the Standard Bed, uses 3-inch castors rather than 5-inch, and has slightly shorter outer dimensions (102x209cm vs 102x213cm). The lower starting height suits nursing homes, domestic settings and community placements where a closer-to-floor profile supports patient independence and fall prevention. Both beds share the same 200kg SWL, 10-function lockable handset, Trendelenburg capability and accessory compatibility.
Can extra-high side rails be fitted to the Lomond Community Bed?
Yes. The Lomond Community Bed is compatible with Lomond extra-high side rails and the 20cm extension kit, both sold separately. MHRA bed rail safety guidance requires a documented risk assessment covering the seven entrapment zones before fitting, together with a Mental Capacity Act 2005 capacity assessment where the patient may lack capacity to consent to the rail.
