Please can anyone help. My brother has terminal cancer and is receiving palliative care at home, we have booked a short break for him next weekend near Church Stretton, Shropshire for his wife and daughter to enjoy a last holiday together. He needs to have a hospital bed, the accommodation provider are happy for us to arrange one to be put into the property for the duration of our stay. The property has level access and is a single storey bungalow. Can anyone advise where I could hire one from for delivery to SY6 please?

Hello Bird5.welcome to the Marie Curie Community. We are sorry to read about your brothers diagnosis. It sounds like a lovely idea going away for a few days. Whilst we are unable to make recommendations for particular company ,you could try doing an online search using that postcode for example  ‘hospital bed hire for a weekend’ it might come up with some local companies that may be able to assist you and deliver any equipment needed to the property.

 Hopefully others here on the Marie Curie Community can share their experiences and insights, perhaps talk about ways in which they managed in a similar situation. Our Support Line is also here for you and if you would like to speak with one of our team with any questions or simply for a listening ear, we are on Freephone 0800 090 2309.

Take care
