When to Rent vs Buy a Hospital Bed

If you or a loved one needs a hospital bed for home use, one of the first decisions is whether to rent or purchase. At Westin Healthcare, we offer both options to serve families across Brampton, Toronto, and the GTA.

When Renting Makes Sense

Hospital bed rental is often the better choice when:

  • Short-term recovery – After surgery or hospitalization (weeks to a few months)
  • Uncertain duration – When you are not sure how long the bed will be needed
  • Trying before buying – To test if a hospital bed meets your needs
  • Budget constraints – Lower upfront cost with monthly payments
  • Maintenance included – Repairs and service covered by rental agreement

When Purchasing Makes Sense

Buying a hospital bed is often better when:

  • Long-term need – For chronic conditions or permanent mobility issues
  • ADP funding available – Government covers 75% of purchase price
  • Cost over time – Cheaper than renting for 12+ months
  • Customization needed – Specific features or configurations required
