ABSTRACT:
A bed (10) for patients requiring bed treatment having a cut out (19) in the base (18) beneath which is a toilet pan (22, 23, 25) preferably having flowing water supply (26) and drain (27) connections. A mattress (35) having one quarter (36) removed is positioned on the base (18) with the open quadrant (36) over the pan (22). A movable mattress segment (40) is positioned on the base (18) in the open quadrant (36) of the mattress (35) and is vertically adjustable to align with the mattress top and laterally movable to expose the pan (22) and allow patients to relieve themselves without having to be moved to insert conventional bed pans. The toilet pan (22) is cleaned using the water supply which is controlled by movement of the movable segment (40). An alternative embodiment has an attachable hot and cold water supply (58) with a wash basin (53) to allow patients to wash themselves. Still another embodiment has a frame (66) and a water impervious cover (70) which, when positioned on the mattress (35), allows patients to bath themselves.
