Description

The Drive PrimeCare P903 is one of our long term care beds: a full-electric frame that lowers to 7 inches (17.8 cm).

Who is it for?

  • A resident up to 550 lbs (249 kg). Safe working load is 600 lbs (272 kg).
  • More than 50 lbs of accessories may lower that resident limit. Not for a child, or anyone who cannot follow the manual.
  • For a long term care, assisted living or rehabilitation room, not a bedroom furniture bed.

Will it fit the room?

  • Width is 31 inches (78.8 cm), then 36, 39 or 42 by push button. Rails add about 3 inches (7.5 cm) a side.
  • Sleep surface: 80, 84 or 88 inches. With the bumper, length is 89, 93 or 97 inches.
  • Deck height is 7 to 30 inches (17.8 to 76.2 cm) without the mattress. It arrives assembled.

Mattress and rails

  • Mattress: 36, 39 or 42 inches wide, 80, 84 or 88 inches long, 5.5 to 7 inches (14 to 18 cm) thick.
  • Too narrow or too thin a mattress leaves a gap at the rail, where entrapment happens.
  • Use only Drive rails PLTCAR, PLTCAB or PLTCDR, each a pair. A care team decides whether rails are used.
  • One person only. Nobody goes under the bed, and body parts must not hang past the deck.
  • See hospital bed safety, mattresses, bed rails and the size guide.

Options

  • Trendelenburg needs a staff control, only near the lowest height. Drive warns of a crush hazard against the wall.
  • The optional staff control for Linak motors is P903SC03. The backup battery is a Timotion TBB2, part P903-T-BBK.
  • Bed ends are separate, in 35 in and 42 in widths. We confirm the end width that matches the deck before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Is a backup battery needed to move the bed?

Nothing moves without the optional battery. Charge it for 24 hours first, and a battery left dead may not recover.

Can I widen it with the resident in the bed?

Yes, the push button sets 36, 39 or 42 inches while the resident stays in bed.

Can it be moved with the resident in it?

No. It is not for moving a resident, only for shifting it inside the room.

Funding and warranty

Funding may help: see who may help pay.

Under the warranty, welds are lifetime (20 years defined), the frame 15 years, electrical and mechanical parts 3 years, other parts 1 year, and batteries 90 days.

My grandmother has been using this bed for a few weeks now, and she’s much more comfortable than before. The PrimeCare P903 Bed is easy to operate, and the side rails provide extra safety. I just wish the delivery process had been quicker, but the product itself is excellent.

Lisa Morgan
5 out of 5 stars

We’ve been using this bed for my mother, and it’s been a great addition to her care. The adjustable features on the PrimeCare P903 Bed are a lifesaver, especially during her recovery.

Priya Sharma
5 out of 5 stars

We decided to go with the PrimeCare P903 Bed for my mother after researching several options. The adjustable settings are very helpful, and she finds the mattress supportive. My only suggestion would be to include better wheels for easier mobility. Overall, we’re happy with it.

We purchased this bed for our father in law for his retirement living residence. We purchased gravity 9 mattress. The mattress seems very comfortable. Mobility specialties delivered the bed very quickly. We are very happy with the bed

I have no hesitation to recommend the store and Drive P903 bed. I was searching for a good hospital bed and had my sights set on Drive Prime P903. I called around and searched online and was pleased to find the store has the bed in stock. However, I was skeptical about purchasing online especially for something over $5,000. As I live in London, Ontario, I didn’t visit the store. However, after checking the BBB, google map and went to Home and Community Care Support Services website, my skeptical was less. It was after talking to Mr. Singh, I realized he has some experiences about the bed (installation, setup etc.) thus, I made my purchase. Mr. Singh was quite accommodating, he let me just pay for the delivery/setup fee first and paid the bed when the bed was delivered. The communication with him was prompt and the delivery (to London, Ontario) and setup was efficient and smooth. I am really happy about his service (white glove) and my purchase. It is a good bed-sturdy and versatile which makes life easier for the patient and the caregiver. Even though the patient only weights 165lb, I opted for a 42” Drive Multi-Ply Shear Care 1500 mattress as the bed can be expand to 42” width. The bed is wonderfully comfortable. Thank you for your excellent service and I hope you will open a store in London, Ontario soon!
