These beds are designed with older Australians, people with disabilities, and caregivers in mind. Whether you’re caring for someone with mobility issues, recovering from surgery, or looking to age comfortably at home, voice control gives you more independence and peace of mind. Families and carers also benefit—less bending, lifting, or adjusting the bed manually. Discover more aged care beds for home use that put safety and ease of use first. Key Features That Matter Our Voice-Control Homecare Hi-Low Bed is packed with features that make daily life easier: Voice Activation: Works through simple, natural phrases Hi-Low Adjustment: Raise or lower the entire bed frame Position Memory: Saves your favourite sleeping or resting positions Sturdy Construction: Designed to support daily movement and transfers Lightweight Yet Durable: Easy to reposition without compromising strength You can also add helpful accessories like bed rails, over-bed tables, or even pairing the bed with a wheelchair-friendly setup for seamless transfers. Try It for Yourself – No Risk Unsure if voice control will work for your space or needs? That’s exactly why Assistive Tech Hub offers a free in-home trial service for our mobility beds for elderly users. You don’t need to guess if a bed fits your lifestyle—you can try before you buy, right in your home. Our team will help set it up and show you how to use it. The best part? Our showroom is disability-friendly, so you can also visit us for a hands-on demo. Explore options like the advanced hi-low bed with standard controls or voice-activated ones to suit every preference. What Australian Users Are Saying “The voice control feature gave my dad more dignity and less frustration. Thank you, Assistive Tech Hub.” — Carer in Queensland This feedback is what drives us to provide cost-friendly and advanced mobility equipment for every home. FAQs Can the bed be used without voice control? Yes. All voice-controlled beds from Assistive Tech Hub come with a regular remote as well. Is the system easy to set up? Very. Our team will guide you through it during delivery, or you can visit our contact page to speak with us about setup help. Do I need Wi-Fi? No. The voice control system works independently and doesn’t rely on Wi-Fi. Can I rent a bed before buying? We offer mobility beds for hire and free trials to help you decide.
