Pressure Sore Prevention in Ancaster
Repositioning and the right surface are key. An adjustable bed and a low air loss mattress can help.
Quick answer
Equipment helps, but repositioning and skin checks remain essential. Hospital Bed Rental Ancaster rents electric hospital beds from $199.99 per month with same-day or next-day delivery in Ancaster and the Hamilton region.
The details
Pressure injuries (also called bed sores) develop when sustained pressure, moisture and friction damage skin, usually over bony areas. Prevention rests on repositioning on a schedule set by your nurse or doctor, keeping skin clean and dry, good nutrition and a suitable support surface. An adjustable bed makes repositioning easier and reduces dragging. A low air loss mattress, available as an add-on, circulates air through cells to help manage moisture and redistribute pressure. If you see skin that stays red, blistered or broken, contact your care team promptly.

Does OHIP or ADP cover a hospital bed rental?
In Ontario, OHIP and the Assistive Devices Program generally do not cover hospital bed rentals. Some private or extended health plans, employer benefits, and veterans programs may reimburse rental costs, so keep your receipt and check with your insurer first.
Do you set the bed up and show us how to use it?
Yes. Our delivery team assembles the bed in the room you choose, tests the controls, and shows you and your caregivers how to use the remote, side rails, and locking casters.
Is there a minimum rental term?
Plan on one month as the minimum. After that, rentals continue month to month so you can keep the bed exactly as long as you need it.
