Century T8042 Deluxe TLC Bed

Century T8036 Deluxe Long Term Care Bed

The Tuffcare Century T8036 Deluxe is a fully electric low bed engineered for Alzheimer's residents and patients with chronic impairments that reduce independence in daily activities. Built on a one-piece welded steel frame with rigid high-gauge mesh deck, the T8036 is designed for long-term reliability in both facility and home care settings. The central locking caster system locks all four wheels with a single step — a practical advantage in busy care environments.

How the T8036 Differs from the T7036

• One-piece frame: Pre-assembled solid grid deck vs the T7036's two-piece split frame — faster setup, more rigid construction
• Central locking casters: Four casters, one-step locks all four vs the T7036's eight casters with individual pair locks
• Slightly taller height range: 9.75"–31" vs the T7036's range — additional elevation for taller patients or facility transfer workflows

Positioning Options

• Hi-Low: 9.75" to 31" for fall prevention and safe transfers
• Head positioning: Fully electric up/down
• Foot/knee positioning: Fully electric up/down
• Trendelenburg: Head-down tilt for circulation and pressure relief
• Reverse Trendelenburg: Foot-down tilt for respiratory and reflux management
• Lawn Chair position: One-touch comfort positioning
