A patient support apparatus (14) includes a frame that has a head end (66) and a foot end (70). A support arm (94) is operably coupled to the head end (66) of the frame. A cord (106) is coupled to the support arm (94). A user interface housing (10) is operably coupled to the cord (106) and configured to retain a user interface (108). The user interface housing (10) includes a locking body (46) coupled to a body (18) of the user interface housing (10) and has a flange (142) configured to engage an edge of the user interface (108). A latch mechanism (50) includes a flexible body (150) coupled to a rear side (154) of the locking body (46). The latch mechanism (50) is configured to selectively secure the locking body (46) in a position. A shelf (130) is coupled to a lower portion (26) of the body (18) of the user interface housing (10). The shelf (130) has stoppers (346) operably coupled to the shelf (130). The stoppers (346) are adjustable along a horizontal plane to define different widths.
