A braced telephone support for supporting a one-piece telephone from a bedrail assembly of a hospital bed. The support includes a planer vertical section for abutment against an interior surface of an upper horizontal bedrail, and a lip rearwardly extending from a top edge of the planer vertical section for hanging engagement with the upper horizontal bedrail. The support further includes a pair of retaining members forwardly extending from opposite sides of the planer vertical section, which members have inwardly bent ends. The retaining members and the planer vertical section define an area to receive and support a base of a one-piece telephone. The support also includes a longitudinal extension extending from the planer vertical section for abutment against an exterior surface of a lower horizontal bedrail. Since the planer vertical section and the longitudinal extension abut upper and lower bedrails of the bedrail assembly on opposite sides thereof, respectively, a bracing effect is established.
