Home Care Equipment Rental Packages

A homecare equipment rental package is a curated bundle of durable medical equipment designed to make caring for someone at home safer, easier and more comfortable. Rather than sourcing individual items separately, a package brings together everything you need in one straightforward hire arrangement.
A typical home care equipment rental package includes a profiling hospital bed, a specialist pressure care mattress, a patient hoist or standing transfer aid, a rise and recline chair, and a shower commode. The exact items depend on the package you choose, and the level of care required.
At Mobility Hire, our homecare packages range from the Essentials Package, ideal for lower-risk short to medium-term needs, right through to bariatric options for larger users up to 40 stone. All equipment is hospital-grade, fully sanitised and delivered directly to your home by our trained team.

Home care equipment hire is suitable for a wide range of people, including those recovering from surgery or illness, individuals with long-term conditions, elderly people who need extra support at home, and anyone being discharged from hospital who requires specialist equipment quickly.
Families and carers often turn to home care equipment hire when a loved one needs support at short notice, when NHS provision takes too long to arrive, or when they want a higher specification of equipment than is available through standard community services. Private hire gives you access to hospital-grade moving and handling equipment immediately, with no waiting lists and no eligibility restrictions.
Aged care equipment hire is also increasingly popular for older adults who want to remain independent at home for longer, as well as for those receiving palliative care who need comfort and dignity in familiar surroundings. Whether the need is short-term or ongoing, there is a package to suit.
If you are not sure whether home care equipment hire is right for your situation, call our team on 0800 111 6234 to find out more.

The NHS does provide some homecare equipment through community equipment services, but access is subject to eligibility criteria, clinical assessments and, in many cases, significant waiting times. Research suggests that up to 70% of new wheelchair users wait more than three months for NHS provision, and some wait over a year. Demand for homecare equipment across the wider NHS system faces similar pressures.
Private home care equipment hire removes these barriers entirely. There are no referrals needed, no waiting lists and no means testing. Delivery can often be arranged the same day or next day, with everything set up in your home by our trained team within hours of making the call.
Private hire also gives you access to a wider range of durable medical equipment, including bariatric options, high-risk pressure care mattresses and specialist seating, at a specification that may not be available through standard NHS community services.

A homecare package can include a wide range of durable medical equipment, depending on the level of support needed. Common items include profiling hospital beds, pressure care mattresses, patient hoists, standing transfer aids, rise and recline chairs, shower chair commodes and high back chairs.
More specialist durable medical equipment rental options are also available, including bariatric beds and chairs rated up to 40 stone as well as dynamic air mattresses for very high-risk pressure care.
At Mobility Hire, all five of our homecare packages are built around the same hospital-grade moving and handling equipment used in professional care settings. Each package is designed for a different level of need, from the Essentials Package for lower-risk situations through to the Bariatric Elite Package for heavier users requiring more robust support.
To find out exactly what is included in each package or to ask about individual items, give us a call on 0800 111 6234 .

For short-term hire, there is no minimum commitment beyond the first two weeks. Your initial payment covers a fortnight, and after that the rental continues week by week for as long as you need it. When you are ready to return the equipment, just give us two working days' notice to end the arrangement and to arrange collection of the equipment.
For long-term home care rental equipment, the minimum hire period is six months, with one month's notice required to end the arrangement. The initial payment covers the first three months, with ongoing monthly payments following one month after delivery. Payments can also be made on a four-weekly basis if that works better.
Long-term hire is generally more cost-effective for families managing ongoing care needs. Durable equipment for short-term and long-term rentals is available across all of our homecare packages, so whatever your situation, there is an option to suit.

No referral is needed to hire homecare equipment privately. You can contact us directly and arrange delivery without going through a GP, occupational therapist or social services. This is one of the most important practical differences between the NHS route and private home care equipment hire.
Through the NHS, community equipment is typically accessed via a health or social care professional, and provision depends on eligibility criteria set by your local Integrated Care Board. The assessment and delivery process can take weeks or months, particularly for more specialist items. For families who cannot wait, private hire offers an immediate alternative.
With private hire, you are in control. You can choose the package that suits your needs, agree a delivery date and have everything in place often within 24 hours. If you have already had an occupational therapy assessment and know what equipment is recommended, that can be a helpful guide, but it is absolutely not a requirement for booking.
If you are unsure what you need, give us a call on 0800 111 6234.

Yes, individual items of homecare equipment are available to hire as standalone products, completely separate from our homecare packages. Each package has been carefully put together as a fixed bundle, and the contents cannot be amended or substituted. This ensures every package delivers a consistent, well-matched set of equipment that works together effectively for the level of care it is designed to support.
That said, many customers find that one of our five homecare packages offers better value and a more convenient setup, as everything is grouped, delivered and installed together. If you are caring for someone at home and are unsure whether a package or individual items would suit you better, our team will help you compare the options honestly.

VAT relief is available on homecare equipment hire for individuals who have a chronic illness or a disability, under HMRC rules for zero-rated supplies. This means that if the person using the equipment qualifies, VAT will not be added to the cost of eligible hire items.
To benefit from VAT relief on your home care equipment rental, you will need to declare your eligibility at the time of booking. The process is straightforward and our team will explain exactly what is required. You do not need a formal medical certificate, but you will need to confirm the nature of the condition or disability.
VAT relief can make a meaningful difference to the overall cost of hiring durable medical equipment.
If you have questions about VAT relief, we can make sure that you have all the information you need by calling us on 0800 111 6234.
