Visiting Palm Beach County? How to Rent Mobility Equipment
Quick answer: If you are visiting or spending the winter in Palm Beach County, you can rent a mobility scooter, a wheelchair, a portable or home oxygen concentrator, a patient lift or a hospital bed from Medical Homecare Supply at 4664 Lake Worth Road in Greenacres. Rentals start at 7 days (hospital beds rent by the month), and you can pick up at our store or have the equipment delivered to where you are staying. Call (561) 965-2785 a few days before you arrive so the equipment is ready.
Who this guide is for
Every winter, families, snowbirds and seasonal residents arrive in Greenacres, Lake Worth Beach, Wellington, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach and the rest of Palm Beach County. Some need mobility equipment for the whole season; others only for a week while relatives visit. Bringing a scooter or wheelchair from home is often not practical, and buying one for a short stay rarely makes sense. Renting locally solves both problems.
What you can rent for your stay
Mobility scooters
We rent 3-wheel and 4-wheel mobility scooters. Most of our rental models come apart to fit in a car trunk, which helps if you plan day trips. A 3-wheel scooter turns more tightly in shops and restaurants; a 4-wheel scooter is steadier on uneven paths. See mobility scooter rental.
Wheelchairs and power wheelchairs
Standard wheelchairs come in 14", 18", 20" and 22" seat widths. Transport chairs are lighter and fold smaller, which suits outings when a companion pushes. Power wheelchairs are also available. See wheelchair rental.
Oxygen concentrators
We rent stationary home oxygen concentrators and portable oxygen concentrators, by the week, two weeks or month. A doctor's prescription is required. A portable unit lets you keep your oxygen with you on outings. See oxygen concentrator rental.
Hospital beds and patient lifts
If a family member staying with you needs more care, we rent full electric hospital beds by the month and full-body or sit-to-stand patient lifts from 7 days. See hospital bed rental and patient lift rental.
How to rent before you arrive
- Call or send a request. Call (561) 965-2785 or use our rental request form. Tell us the equipment, your dates and where you will be staying.
- Share a few details. For a scooter or wheelchair, the rider's weight; for a wheelchair, the seat width if you know it; for oxygen, your prescription and flow rate.
- Choose pickup or delivery. Pick up at our Greenacres store, or have the equipment delivered to your home, condo or rental in Palm Beach County.
- Extend if your plans change. Call us before the rental period ends and we will extend it.
Traveling with oxygen
If you are flying in or taking a cruise, plan your oxygen early. The FAA allows portable oxygen concentrators that meet its requirements on board, but each airline and cruise line sets its own rules for advance notice and battery time. Call your airline or cruise line before you travel, and call us to arrange a portable or home unit for the part of your stay in Palm Beach County.
