The invention relates to a device (1) for converting a bed, in particular a care bed, sick bed, or intensive-care bed, from a horizontal position into an inclined position with respect to the longitudinal sides (12) of the bed. The invention is characterized in that the device (1) has a receiving device (2) for receiving the bed (10) and a stand device (3) for ensuring a stable stand of the device (1) and in that the receiving device (2) and the stand device (3) are operatively connected together via at least one adjusting mechanism (70) which inclines the receiving device (2) relative to the stand device (3). In the process, the device advantageously decouples the verticalization process from the respective existing bed (10) and in this manner allows a large degree of flexibility for the care personnel during a routine therapy session using a care and/or medical device, thus allowing a safe and comfortable therapy for a patient (90) confined to a bed.
