MediStays Unique Approach
MediStays provides seamless bookings and the best accommodations for our guests and referrers.
We hand-select our listed properties based on features ideal for our guests.
Designed with each guests unique situation in mind, search filters and layouts highlight the most appropriate features and facilities.
Hospital landing pages also highlight property partners nearby, to make the booking process even easier.
Within the MediStays team we have a wealth of qualified health professional, hotelier and tourism industry expertise, and lived experience.
Our dedicated Care Navigator team will match the best property and it’s features to each guest’s needs. They do this based on comprehensive knowledge specific to our community.
MediStays’ point of difference is the specialised requirements of our guests. This includes accommodation features needed to suit both patients and carers. So our content is unique to our community. For example, a property might feature their swimming pool on a leisure OTA, but feature a roll-in bathroom or proximity to hospital on the MediStays website.
We recommend the best places to stay for individualised needs. That may mean somewhere accessible, accommodation with cooking facilities, pet-friendly, car-parking or within walking distance to the hospital. We also ensure guests book using MediStays lowest rates and know about any extra financial assistance available.
MediStays is invested in the experience of our guests and referrers.
So we advocate on their behalf to our partners and suppliers, to ensure the best options are available for each and every guest.
Our Care Navigators play an important role in this. They are specifically trained to understand all of the needs a guest may have. They also have in-depth knowledge of MediStays special rates, as well as any government and healthcare funds or subsidies available.
How we onboard our team

Agile Tools & Processes
MediStays is an agile business, where we constantly focus on optimising operational workflows and efficiencies to support our community. We utilise innovative technology for both our booking platform and customer success processes, including a dedicated CRM tool. Our team is encouraged to contribute to the improvement and optimisation of all processes.
Upskilling & Events
MediStays invests in the upskilling and career development of our team. From time to time, staff attend conferences and events to learn more about the sectors and community we serve.
