Product Details

Joerns WeCare® Split-Frame Hospital Bed – Ultra-Low Full Electric Bed with Easy One-Person Setup (450 lb Capacity)

The Joerns WeCare Split-Frame bed brings the stability and positioning of a facility-grade hospital bed into the home in a package one person can carry in and assemble. The frame separates into two lightweight halves that ship by parcel carrier—no freight truck, no pallet, and it fits up a narrow stairway. Four quiet DC motors adjust head, knee, and height, and the bed lowers to 8" to reduce fall risk, then rises to 28" for easier caregiving and transfers.

Prefer a traditional one-piece frame? See the Joerns WeCare One-Piece Hospital Bed.

The WeCare is a configurable bed. Your purchase includes the full-electric split frame with hand pendant. Side rails, headboard/footboard panels, and mattress are selected separately so you get exactly what you need.

Best For
Homes where a freight delivery or a full-size frame won't fit—apartments, upstairs bedrooms, tight hallways
Families setting up the bed themselves without a delivery crew
Seniors aging in place who need an ultra-low bed for fall prevention
Caregiver-assisted recovery at home

What's Included
Full-electric WeCare split frame, 35" x 80" sleep surface, 450 lb safe working load
8-button hand pendant (head, knee, height, and AutoContour)
AutoContour positioning that raises head and knee together to keep the user from sliding
Grid-style sleep deck for airflow under the mattress
Open-leg frame with 18" underbed clearance for patient lifts

Choose Your Configuration
Roll-in-Low – the full-featured WeCare. Includes corner mattress side stops and wall bumpers. Casters release only when the bed is fully lowered, so it stays put at every other height. Height range 8"–28".
Base Model – the economy configuration. Same frame and motors, but corner mattress side stops and bumpers are not included, and the height range is 8.75"–26". Choose this if you're on a tight budget or plan to add side rails (which hold the mattress in place).

Side Rail & Assist Options
Half-length assist rails (pair) – the most common homecare choice; assist getting in and out without boxing the user in
SoftCare padded half-length assist rails (pair)
Full-length rails (pair, with mounting kit)
Assist handles – a short grab bar at the head of the bed for a hand-hold without a rail

Headboard & Footboard Options

Panels are not required for the bed to operate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one person set up the WeCare Split-Frame bed?

Yes. The frame separates into two lightweight halves that ship by parcel carrier, not freight, so one person can carry the boxes in, up a stairway if needed, and assemble the bed with basic tools.

What is the difference between the Roll-in-Low and the Base Model?

The Roll-in-Low is the full-featured WeCare with corner mattress stops and wall bumpers and an 8 to 28 inch height range. The Base Model is the economy version: same frame and motors, but no mattress stops or bumpers, and an 8.75 to 26 inch range.

How low does the WeCare go?

The Roll-in-Low lowers to 8 inches off the floor for fall prevention and rises to 28 inches for caregiving. AutoContour raises the head and knee together so the user does not slide down the bed.

What is the weight capacity of the Joerns WeCare?

450 pounds safe working load, which includes the mattress, rails, bedding, accessories, and the person using the bed.

What mattress and rails fit the WeCare?

It takes a standard 36 x 80 inch hospital bed mattress, such as the Joerns PrevaMatt. Half-length, SoftCare padded, and full-length rails and assist handles are available, all sold separately.

Can the WeCare be made wider?

Yes. A Joerns width-extension kit widens the sleep surface to 42 inches, paired with 42 inch headboard and footboard panels. Call us at 844-795-2930 and we will quote the kit with your bed.
