By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information").

Facebook Marketplace is another option.
Getting the bed might not be the difficult part but getting a mattress. Many places will take the bed but no one wants to accept a used mattress.
A Hospital bed if medically necessary will generally be covered by insurance the doctor needs to write an order for it (like a prescription). While most places that have hospital beds will rent them they do sell them as well.
The mattress choices are also very convenient now, bed-in-a-box. You can choose what materials it's made of and provide for cooling, air movement, thickness, firmness, and not have the discomfort of plastic beds from hospital mattresses. If you're concerned with urine, they have mattress pads now that are luxurious covers and do a wonderful job.
Good luck to you.
This may sound creepy, however no one / organization will take a recyced bed such as: (GoodWill / health equipment recycling, etc. will take beds).
Perhaps contact retirement homes - where people need to purchase their own to let family members know of your interest. Families emptying apartments will be VERY HAPPY to hear from you as they would otherwise need to dump and pay a person to take to the dump and then the dumping fees.

If you find one on Facebook marketplace chances are it will NOT have a mattress. Most places that would normally take used medical equipment will not take a bed because they can not take a used mattress.
Check with your local Senior Center they may have a bulletin board where people can post things like this.
If the person is eligible for Hospice then Hospice will provide one along with all the other equipment that would be needed.
