Equipment rental

[weswife]

Hello... looking for some information in regard to equipment rental. My DD has and is battling a pressure wound. Its been one heck of a journey, it tried to take her life. Ongoing since May 2019, which was our last trip to Disney!

At home she sleeps on a special air mattress to help with pressure relief. I have been researching and found a rental. My question is... Would we be able to swap the mattress at the resort? Is it possible to bring on a cruise? The mattress runs on power in case you are not familiar with it.

Thanks for the guidance!

I suggest contacting the Disability Services department at WDW to ask about how you can use this in the resort room. I know guests have had bed lifts and recliners and various other medical equipment delivered for use in the room.

For the cruise, I recommend contacting DCL's Special Services. They should be able to help you coordinate getting delivery of the equipment you'll need. Unless this item can be carried on, you may need to use an authorized vendor; if you can carry it on, be sure to confirm with the land-based vendor that they are OK with you taking it onboard a ship.

I’m familiar with alternating pressure air mattresses (RN)
You could ask the company you found to rent from how they interact with the Disney Resorts. Usually, removing a mattress would be done by Housekeeping. Would she also need a hospital bed?

I’d suggest contacting the AdventHealth contact information on this link.
Advent Health has a contract with Disney World for provision of HealthCare services, including equipment rental and delivery. They would probably be the most seamless way to get the equipment she needs delivered and set up.
I don’t know if they also work with the cruise line.

Thank you! I will try to connect with them. We don’t think she will need a hospital bed but the mattress would be extremely helpful! We plan to stay 10 days including a 3 night cruise. This will be her 1 st trip back since 2019 and is super exciting!!! I get nervous and want to chicken out if I think about it… we want to celebrate her big 30th birthday!!!

I know this is really late and you may already have gone on your trip. But have you looked into alternating pressure air mattress toppers? We bought ours from Amazon for $70+ and it was a lifesaver - DH’s pressure sore healed days later.

It is small and so portable.
