An adjustable bed comprises a stationary bed frame and a movable bed
frame. A portion of the stationary bed frame is coupled to a portion of a
plurality of actuator devices and a portion of the movable bed frame is
coupled to a portion of the actuator devices. A power supply coupled to
the actuator devices activates the actuator devices. At least one of the
actuator devices comprises a safety switch to prevent unauthorized use of
the actuator devices, and a toggle switch to elevate and lower at least
one actuator of the actuator devices. A caregiver unlocks the safety
switch, activates the actuator devices and guides a person transversely
from one side of a mattress located on the movable bed frame to a second
side of the mattress thereby permitting access to a portion of the person
that was previously inaccessible.
