Patriot Semi-Electric Homecare Bed – The Ultimate Semi Electric Hospital Bed for Comfort, Safety & Reliability

Lumex Patriot Homecare Bed – Semi Electric Hospital Bed with Grid Deck, 350 lb Patient Weight

The Lumex Patriot Homecare Bed is a semi electric hospital bed built for everyday care at home. The head and foot sections raise and lower with a hand pendant, one at a time or together, and the bed height is set by hand. It has a fully welded steel frame, a USA-made motor, a heavy-duty grid deck and a 9V battery backup. It’s rated for a 350 lb maximum patient weight and a 450 lb total capacity.

Families and care teams usually ask us the same few things: how big is it, how much does it hold and what happens if the power goes out. The standard sleep surface is 36″ wide by 80″ long, and 4-inch extension kits take it to 84″ or 88″. The deck height ranges from 15″ to 24″. The bed and motor weigh 166 lbs together, and the bed goes together from 5 main components with no special tools.

It’s a practical semi-electric homecare bed for a family caring for a parent at home. It’s also a straightforward home hospital bed option for home health agencies and care facilities that want electric head and foot positioning with a deck that’s easy to clean. Bed ends come in Fiberboard Decorative Walnut or High-Impact Plastic.

Choosing Your Options

Pick the three options at the top of the page and the price updates as you go. Every combination is one of Graham-Field’s own Patriot packages, so the whole order ships together under one Graham-Field code. Here is what each choice means.

• Bed ends. Both ends are included with every option; this is just the finish. Walnut fiberboard ends have a decorative wood-grain look that fits a bedroom. High-impact plastic ends are the easy-wipe choice for a facility or a room that gets cleaned hard and often.
• Rails. “No rails” is the bed with both ends, motor and hand pendant and no side rails. “Full chrome rails” are full-length chrome rails that run most of the bed’s length. “Half chrome rails” are shorter rails at the head end that leave the foot end open for getting in and out. “FDA-compliant full rails” and “FDA-compliant half rails” are Graham-Field’s reduced-gap designs, built to the FDA bed-rail entrapment guidance, with the half version a no-gap rail; pick one of these for a resident at risk of entrapment or when a facility asks for compliant rails. If you want a rail we do not list here, the rails Graham-Field sells separately for the Patriot are in the Optional Add Ons.
• Mattress. “No mattress” is the bed without one, for anyone who already has a hospital-bed mattress or wants a different one from our mattress category. “1633 foam mattress” adds Graham-Field’s 1633 rolled foam mattress, sized for this bed, in the same shipment.
• What ships. The Patriot semi-electric bed frame with both bed ends, the motor, hand pendant and the height crank, plus the rails and mattress you picked, all as one Graham-Field package. The 84 in. extension kit, a trapeze and an overbed table are sold separately below.

Why Choose the Patriot Semi Electric Hospital Bed?

The Patriot covers what most families need from a hospital bed at home. The electric head and foot sections let the person in bed sit up for meals, reading or visitors and adjust the legs for comfort at the push of a button. The grid deck gives the mattress firm, even support and is easier to clean than a spring deck. The 9V battery backup lets you lower the head and foot sections if the power goes out. The length extension gives taller users more room.

It was designed by the same team behind GF Long Term Care beds, so it brings care-setting experience to a bed sized for a bedroom at home. You also get a 2-year warranty on the frame, electronics and mechanical components.

What Does Semi-Electric Mean on the Patriot?

On the Patriot, two things are electric: the head section and the foot section. You control both from a hand pendant and can move them on their own or at the same time.

The overall bed height is adjusted manually, with a deck height range of 15″ to 24″. Keeping the height adjustment manual helps keep the bed lightweight. Most families set the height once for safe transfers or a comfortable caregiver working height. After that, the day-to-day changes happen at the pendant.

350 lb Patient Weight, 450 lb Total Capacity

The Patriot’s maximum patient weight is 350 lbs. Its total capacity is 450 lbs, and that number covers everything on the bed: the patient, the mattress, the rails and any accessories. Add those up before you order.

If the user weighs more than 350 lbs, or is close to it and you’re adding a heavy mattress, a bariatric bed is the safer choice.

Heavy-Duty Grid Deck vs. a Spring Deck

The Patriot’s sleep deck is a heavy-duty grid made in the USA, not a traditional spring deck. It’s built to be stronger than a spring deck, so the mattress doesn’t sag and gets better support. The open grid is also easier to clean. That matters to family caregivers, and it matters even more to facilities that clean beds between residents.

Corner mattress retainers help keep the mattress in place on the deck.

Does the Patriot Sit a Person Upright? The 60° Head Lift

Yes. The head section lifts up to 60°, so the person can sit well up for meals, medications, reading or talking with family.

The foot section adjusts separately, so you can change leg position without moving the head section. You can also move both sections together.

Quiet, Smooth USA-Made Motor

The Patriot’s motor is made in the USA and is built for quiet, smooth movement. Position changes during the night are less likely to wake the person in bed or anyone sleeping nearby.

9V Battery Backup for Power Outages

A built-in 9V battery backup lowers the head and foot sections during a power outage. If the lights go out while someone is sitting up, you can still bring them back down.

It’s a good idea to check the 9V battery now and then so it’s ready when you need it.

Length Extension Up to 88″ for Taller Users

The standard sleep surface is 80″ long. Four-inch extension kits can be added at the head end, the foot end or both, for an 84″ or 88″ sleep surface. That gives a taller user more room, so their feet don’t press against the foot end.

Ask us whether the kits ship with your bed or are ordered separately. A longer deck also needs a mattress that fits it, and we’ll help you match one.

Walnut or High-Impact Plastic Bed Ends

The Patriot’s bed ends come in two styles. Fiberboard Decorative Walnut looks more like bedroom furniture, and durable High-Impact Plastic is a practical everyday choice. Call us at 585-505-6665 to confirm which bed ends are available when you order.

Safety: Locking Pins, Lanyards and No External Pinch Points

The Patriot has no external pinch points, so there are fewer places for fingers or skin to get caught when the sections move. The locking pins are attached with lanyards, so they stay with the bed during setup or a move. Precision rail placement slots help rails go on in the right position.

Easy Assembly: 5 Main Components, No Special Tools

The Patriot goes together from 5 main components, and you don’t need special tools. That makes setup easier in a home bedroom. It also helps agencies and facilities that move beds between rooms or clients.

Patriot vs. a Full-Electric Hospital Bed

On the semi-electric Patriot, the head and foot sections are electric and the bed height is manual. On a full-electric bed, the pendant also raises and lowers the whole bed.

If the height gets set once and rarely changes, the Patriot does the job. A full-electric bed is the better choice when the height needs to change several times a day for transfers and care, or when the user wants to change the height without help.

Room, Doorway and Home vs. Facility Use

The Patriot measures 87″ long by 36″ wide overall. Plan floor space at least that size, plus room for a caregiver to stand and work beside the bed and space for a walker, wheelchair or commode if you use one.

Because the bed arrives as 5 main components, it comes into the house in pieces rather than fully assembled. If a doorway, hallway or stairway is tight, call us at 585-505-6665 and we’ll help you check it.

At home, it’s a good fit for a bedroom or a first-floor room set up for care. In facilities and home health programs, the easy-to-clean grid deck, locking pins with lanyards and tool-free assembly make day-to-day use simpler.

Who Is the Patriot Best For?

The Patriot is a good semi electric hospital bed for:

• Adults up to 350 lbs who need to sit up and change leg position in bed during the day
• Families setting up home care for a parent or spouse after a hospital stay or during rehab
• Taller users who need an 84″ or 88″ sleep surface
• Caregivers who want a bed that’s lightweight for its class and goes together without special tools
• Home health agencies and care facilities that want electric head and foot positioning with an easy-to-clean grid deck

If you’re comparing bed types, our Hospital Bed Buying Guide walks through the differences. For upkeep, lifespan and room fit, see our Hospital Bed Knowledge Base.

Who May Need a Different Hospital Bed?

• Users over 350 lbs: choose a bariatric hospital bed with a higher weight rating and a wider deck.
• People who often change bed height: a full-electric bed raises and lowers the whole bed from the pendant.
• High fall-risk users: the Patriot’s deck goes down to 15″. A low bed that sits closer to the floor may be the safer choice.
• People who can’t bear weight for transfers: pair the bed with a patient lift such as a Hoyer lift, since no bed alone can safely handle that transfer.

Common Problem → Patriot Solution

Problem: A taller user’s feet press against the foot end of a standard 80″ hospital bed, and it’s uncomfortable all night.

Solution: The Patriot’s 4-inch extension kits add length at the head, the foot or both, for an 84″ or 88″ sleep surface. Match the mattress to the new length and they’ll have more room to stretch out.

“My husband is tall and his feet hit the end of the bed. Can we make it longer?” Yes. Call us at 585-505-6665 and we’ll help you pick the right length and a mattress to match.

Mattresses, Rails & Accessories for the Patriot

The product information doesn’t list a mattress or rails as included, so plan to add them. The standard sleep surface is 36″ x 80″, and the frame has corner mattress retainers and precision rail placement slots. Ask us which mattresses and rails fit this frame, especially if you’re extending the bed.

• Hospital bed mattresses
• Bed rails and hospital bed accessories
• Trapeze bars

Remember that the 450 lb total capacity includes the mattress, rails and accessories along with the patient.

Lumex Patriot Warranty

The Patriot comes with a 2-year warranty on the frame, electronics and mechanical components. As an authorized dealer and provider, we’re Rated No. 1 in customer service and we’re here to help if you have a question about your bed.
