Bringing someone home from hospital?

It depends on the care level. An assisted setup for a mobile patient starts at KES 35,000. A transitional setup including a hospital bed starts at KES 82,700. Full dependency care starts at KES 122,200, rising to KES 192,200 if an oxygen concentrator is required.

A single crank raises the head only. A double crank raises head and knees independently, which is more comfortable and stops the patient sliding down the bed. Both come complete with a standard mattress.

In Nairobi and surrounding areas we offer assembly for a fee - tell us your location and we'll quote it.

Everywhere else, the beds arrive flat-packed and go together with basic tools in about 30 minutes. We send a step-by-step video with every delivery, and if you'd rather have someone talk you through it, message us and we'll do it live on a video call.

If the patient cannot reposition themselves, yes. Pressure sores can begin within 2 to 4 hours of unrelieved pressure. The ripple mattress goes on top of the standard bed mattress and alternates pressure points automatically.

A standard hospital bed takes 3x6. A home double bed usually takes 4x6. Sizes run up to 6x6. Measure the mattress before ordering.

For care lasting more than three months, buying is almost always cheaper. Beds and wheelchairs also resell reasonably well in Kenya afterwards. Tell us how long care is expected to last and we will advise.

Nairobi is usually same or next day for items in stock. We deliver countrywide - send us your location and we will confirm timing.
