Does anyone know where I can get a free hospital bed for my grandma?

Does anyone know where I can get a free hospital bed for my grandma around DMV? I live in Alexandria VA but, I can pick up from wherever in the DMV area. The insurance won't cover it but we need it urgently!! Please help.

Why won't Medicare cover it?

Go to this page:

Look up your nearest Area Agency on Aging office, call them, and explain what you need. They should know who to ask. Best of luck, come back to us if that doesn't help.

Here is the website for the Area Agency on Aging for Fairfax County.

I hope one way or another you can find the bed that you need for your grandma.

Hi, I would look at Facebook Marketplace or in your local Pennysaver. You may be able to rent one or purchase one on a payment plan. Craig’s List?

Look on community boards or on the bulletin board in a supermarket for sale cheap.

You may luck out and find someone who has a hospital bed in their home and want to get rid of it.

I would call around to Goodwill stores or call the Salvation Army as well.

Alexandria & Fairfax County is a huge metro area with a lot of resources. Call your county department of aging as they may have a source as well.
