Are the Beds Suitable for Use With Portable Hoists or Additional Care Equipment?
The accessible rooms at Ki Space Hotel & Spa are designed with enough space around the bed to accommodate mobility equipment such as portable hoists. While the hotel does not provide medical equipment directly, the layout and furniture allow for the safe use of hired devices, including profiling beds and hoists brought in by guests or their care providers.
Space Around the Bed
Each accessible room features a spacious layout with clear floor space on both sides of the bed. This makes it easier for carers to assist from either side or for a hoist to be positioned and operated safely. The area between the bed and nearby walls or furniture typically exceeds standard turning radius for wheelchairs, ensuring flexibility for various types of care.
Bed Height and Frame
The beds in accessible rooms are at a standard height suitable for most transfers. While they are not adjustable or electric by default, the bed frame allows for the use of manual or electric mobile hoists that roll under the base. If a profiling bed or adjustable mattress is required, guests can arrange delivery of such equipment through third-party medical hire services before arrival.
Bringing in Medical Equipment
Guests are welcome to have mobility aids or care equipment delivered to the hotel, such as:
- Manual or electric hoists
- Portable profiling beds
- Pressure-relief mattresses
- Overbed tables or commodes
The hotel reception team can accept these items on your behalf and assist with moving them to your room. It is advised to notify the hotel in advance if equipment will be delivered.
Final Thought
Although the hotel’s standard beds are not electric or adjustable, their layout supports the safe and practical use of portable care equipment. With clear turning space, accessible height, and a cooperative delivery policy, Ki Space Hotel & Spa offers a supportive environment for guests requiring hoists or medical aids during their stay.
