holiday with an oxygen concentrator

sheilavw

Myself and my sister holiday with my Brother who has Downs syndrome. He now has a small oxygen requirement of half a litre through a concentrator. The guy who delivered the machine assured us that it is common and they regular deliver to cottages, hotels, caravan parks. Ideally we would like to cruise again but he has a low immune system and was really unwell on the last cruise so don't think we will bother. Has anyone on here holidayed somewhere nice in the UK and had a concentrator delivered? We live in Lancashire but often stay in Cumbria, I have a car. We would ideally like to be close to the coast, somewhere to have little days out.

Thanks

the people to speak to are the company who provide the O2 for your area - presume it is  Baywater who would cover both areas   Have  a  look at their website - they certainly deliver bottled oxygen to holiday places but am not sure about concentrators - they will be able to tell you https://www.baywater.co.uk/services/home-oxygen-therapy/

Thanks! it is Baywater, the guy who dropped the concentrators off said most places seem ok with them. Just wondered if anyone had any recommendations. We usually go on a cruise, or often to Blackpool, or just one particularly site in the lakes. Looking for other good coastal sites, preferably within 2/3 hours of the North West. Maybe Wales

Other people's experiences in the past may be helpful and reassuring, but you need to contact Baywater as suggested above to be sure of the situation now which could be different.

I think I would look for places to go on holiday that appeal to you, note down their postcodes and then ask Baywater to confirm that could deliver to them.  Then enjoy your holiday!

Thanks! We will have a browse. Hoping our usual place in Cumbria can accept us too
