Wishing Well Medical - Things to know before renting a hospital bed

Wishing Well Medical supply ( https://www.wishingwellmedicalsupply.com )rents hospital beds and has a few things consumers need to know before renting one.

Controls

Modern beds have electric controls. This makes it much easier for a person in the bed to make needed adjustments. It is also handy for caregivers who don't have the strength to use manual controls.

"Depending on the person, you may need manual controls," said Frank Bravo, owner of Wishing Well Medical. "Some people in a hospital bed should not be allowed to adjust the settings. So your options are restraints or manual controls."

Cushions

Hospital beds can be fitted with different kinds of cushions to help prevent bedsores. Other cushions are good for burn victims or people who have skin grafts.

Rent v. Purchase

Should you buy or rent a hospital bed? Mr. Bravo said that depends on the need. I the person is going to be in the bed long term, buying a bed is a good idea. If the person will only be in the bed a few weeks, rental is the way to go.

"Look at the rent cost and compare that to a purchase cost. If you are going to spend as much or more renting a bed as you'd send buying one, then buy the bed," Mr. Bravo said. "Once you are finished with it, you can sell it and recoup some of your money."

Insurance and Medicare cover part of the purchase of a bed if needed.
