Delivering to Springbank
Hospital Bed, Lift and Ramp Rental for Springbank Acreages
Springbank is the acreage country just past Calgary’s western edge, between the city and Highway 22, south of the Bow River. The city neighbourhoods of West Springs and Aspen Woods were once part of it. Under the Springbank Area Structure Plan that Rocky View County adopted in March 2025, all new residential lots must be at least 2 acres, and that space is exactly what makes a delivery here different from one in town.
On an acreage, the hard part is rarely the room. It is the distance from where the truck stops to where the bed goes, the surface in between and the weather on the County roads. Springbank is the closest acreage district to our downtown address, about 22.6 km and 29 minutes away, and we plan each delivery around the lot as well as the house.
Coming home from
-
Foothills Medical Centre
About 18.1 km or 21 minutes from central Springbank, which makes it the nearest hospital, closer than Rockyview. It lists stroke, spinal cord injury and amputee rehabilitation clinics.
-
Rockyview General Hospital
About 25.4 km or 28 minutes away in SW Calgary, with an Acute Geriatric Unit, a Seniors Health Clinic and inpatient orthopedics.
-
Carewest Glenmore Park
Next door to Rockyview General, so a similar drive. It lists a Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Unit, a Geriatric Day Hospital and a Rehabilitation and Community Transition Program.
Going home to Springbank
Rockyview sits on the south-west side of the city, but by road Foothills Medical Centre is the closer hospital to Springbank: about 21 minutes against 28. Either way the ride home is under half an hour, and our crew needs about 29 minutes from downtown, so a delivery on discharge day is often possible when the equipment is in stock and you call early. If the patient is finishing rehab at Carewest Glenmore Park, the discharge date may be known further ahead, which can give time for a site visit before a ramp goes in.
Weather matters more out here than in the city. Rocky View County says Priority 1 arterial roads can take up to 36 hours to clear after a snowfall, and Priority 2 collector roads are targeted within 60 hours after the snow stops. If a storm lands in the days before a discharge, tell us about your road and your lane, and plan to have the driveway itself cleared to the door. For home care after discharge, the central intake is Community Care Access, and anyone can make the referral with the patient’s agreement.
Homes here, and what fits in them
Springbank homes are single-detached houses on country residential lots, and across Rocky View County 93% of occupied homes are single-detached. What we need to know first is the approach. Where can the truck park? Is the path to the door gravel, pavers, lawn or a paved drive? Is the best entry the front door, the garage or a walkout at the back? A long walk from the truck is manageable, but loose gravel, a slope or steps without a rail all change how we plan the carry, and we would rather know before we arrive.
Ramps take the same thinking. A modular aluminum ramp stands on multi-positional base feet rather than concrete, and it can sit on a driveway, a walkway or level ground, but the bottom has to land on firm, level ground with room to turn a wheelchair. On a large lot, the right answer is often not the front steps but whichever entrance has the lowest rise and a hard surface leading to it. Send us photos of each option and the height from the ground to the top of each threshold.
Most requested in Springbank
Modular Aluminum Home Entry Ramps
Where an acreage house has more than one entrance, a modular ramp can go at whichever one has the lowest rise and a firm surface, standing on base feet with no concrete.
$320–$500/mo
Full-Electric Hospital Beds
A bed set up in a main-floor room, close to the door the patient uses, cuts down the distance a carer walks through a large house every day.

After stroke or spinal cord injury rehabilitation at Foothills, a battery-powered floor lift handles bed-to-chair transfers without any installation in the home.

After shoulder, hip or abdominal surgery, a recliner with supported sleep positions can let someone rest on the main floor instead of climbing to a bedroom.
