Access to proper equipment is one of the most important aspects of delivering safe and effective home care. Whether you’re supporting someone after surgery, managing long-term illness, or adjusting a living space for an elderly relative, the right tools make all the difference. Among these, hiring hospital beds is often the first and most critical step.
In Cape Town, where families seek both independence and personalised care at home, the option of renting hospital beds offers a practical and flexible solution. Mr Mobility is here to help you make the right choice with ease and confidence.
Why renting hospital beds matters
Home recovery or care is often unplanned. Hospital discharge can happen quickly, and adapting a space for safe recovery needs to happen fast. Purchasing a hospital bed outright is not always realistic—especially if the need is short-term or temporary.
That’s where renting hospital beds in Cape Town provides value. It allows families to:
- Respond quickly to changing care needs
- Avoid the high cost of purchasing outright
- Adapt existing bedrooms without structural changes
- Provide comfort and safety for both the user and the caregiver
This flexible, cost-effective approach enables recovery to begin at home without unnecessary delay or financial strain.
Who should consider hiring a hospital bed?
Hospital bed rental isn’t just for post-surgical care. A wide range of circumstances may require short or medium-term use of professional sleeping and support equipment.
Hiring hospital beds is suitable for:
- Individuals recovering from operations such as hip replacement, back surgery, or abdominal procedures
- Older adults with mobility challenges or frailty
- Patients undergoing palliative or end-of-life care
- People living with progressive conditions such as Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis
- Temporary care needs, such as injury recovery or respite care
Cape Town residents who value privacy, comfort, and family-centred care often choose to manage these needs at home. Mr Mobility supports this by offering easy rental access to high-quality hospital beds delivered across the city.

Renting hospital beds vs purchasing: What’s the difference?
While Mr Mobility offers hospital beds for purchase, renting remains the more accessible option for many families—particularly when care needs are short-term or uncertain.
Renting is ideal when:
- You’re unsure how long the bed will be needed
- You’re supporting temporary care (e.g., rehab or hospice support)
- Storage space is limited after use
- Budget is a concern and you’d prefer to spread out costs
Purchasing may be better when:
- You expect ongoing use for a year or more
- You want long-term control over the equipment
- You’re customising a home for permanent care
Our team can help weigh these options based on your unique circumstances.

Cape Town’s calming spaces: Golf courses for relaxation and light activity
Caring at home often includes managing long days and building in restful breaks for caregivers and patients alike. For those who enjoy open space, gentle walking, or simply soaking up views, Cape Town’s golf courses can offer peaceful moments of respite—even for non-golfers.
Here are three of the city’s most scenic and accessible golf courses that are worth visiting, whether for a casual lunch, light stroll, or brief mental break.
1. Royal Cape Golf Club, Wynberg
As South Africa’s oldest golf club, Royal Cape offers historic charm with panoramic views of Table Mountain. Located in Wynberg, the grounds are serene and well-kept, with level walking areas and a clubhouse that welcomes non-golfing visitors. It’s a beautiful spot for a peaceful drive or to enjoy a tea break away from home care routines.
2. Metropolitan Golf Club, Mouille Point
Right next to the Green Point Urban Park and Cape Town Stadium, the Metropolitan Golf Club is a compact but striking course near the Atlantic Ocean. Its central location and sea views make it an ideal venue for a relaxing visit, especially for those living in or near the city centre. The course is known for its accessibility and quiet atmosphere during weekdays.
3. Westlake Golf Club, Lakeside
Nestled in the shadow of the Steenberg Mountains, Westlake Golf Club offers a tranquil escape in the southern suburbs. Its calm setting, tree-lined fairways, and easy parking make it a great location for a brief outing, particularly for families needing a change of pace from home care routines. The area is also known for birdlife and fresh air.
These venues may offer more than a game—they provide much-needed pause, reflection, and moments of natural beauty that support mental wellbeing.
