  Tendercare Beds

  Company Owner

  Tendercare Beds manufactured a beautiful wood patented design headboard / footboard that slipped over hospital beds to make the beds look normal. The product provided hospital bedridden patients the opportunity to mask the ugly hospital bed they lived in. It also gave caregivers the chance to help their loved ones no longer feel the shame of living in a hospital bed. Thousands of buyers reached out to us thanking us for creating this product with many of them telling us their loved ones cried when they simply lifted the headboard set out of the deliver box and installed them over their hospital bed.
