Barcelona is internationally recognised for the quality of its hospitals and medical centres, and also for offering accessible housing options designed for temporary stays for health reasons. Many people travel here to receive specialised treatment, undergo surgery, or complete a rehabilitation process, and they need adapted accommodation where they can feel safe and comfortable.
If this is your situation, planning your stay well is key to going through the process with maximum peace of mind—for you and for anyone accompanying you.
Accessible housing for people with physical disabilities near hospitals
When you come to Barcelona for medical reasons, you don’t just need a place to sleep: you need a home adapted to your needs, close to the hospital, and suited to your day-to-day life during treatment.
At MICs Sant Jordi, we offer adapted and accessible apartments that function as true homes for people with disabilities. They are located near some of the city’s leading hospitals, such as Hospital Clínic, Clínica Corachan, Clínica Sagrada Família, Clínica Teknon, Hospital de Barcelona, and Hospital de Sant Pau, allowing you to reduce travel time and gain comfort.
Our homes are designed so you can maintain as much independence as possible:
- Spacious areas with no architectural barriers.
- Bathrooms adapted for people with reduced mobility.
- Option to incorporate assistive equipment (adjustable beds, hoists, grab rails, etc.).
- A fully equipped kitchen so you can follow your dietary guidelines.
This way, you have not only a room, but a temporary home adapted to your needs throughout your medical process.
Medical documentation and what to prepare before travelling
Before travelling and staying in accessible housing in Barcelona, it’s important to organise the medical and administrative side:
- Gather up-to-date medical reports, clinical history, recent test results, and valid prescriptions.
- If you are coming from another country, try to bring translations of your medical documents into Spanish or English.
- Check with the hospital where you will be treated to see if you need any specific documentation.
- Review your health insurance or international coverage for emergencies or possible complications.
Keeping everything organised, both on paper and digitally, will help you feel calmer and make things easier for the professionals who will care for you.
What to consider when choosing accessible housing for people with physical disabilities
When choosing accessible housing in Barcelona, keep these key points in mind:
- True accessibility of the space
Not all homes advertised as accessible meet the specific needs of every person. At MICs Sant Jordi, the apartments are designed from the outset with people with disabilities or reduced mobility in mind, with step-free access, wide doors, and adapted furniture. - Proximity to the hospital
Being close to your medical centre reduces the time and effort spent travelling—especially important if you have several appointments in the same day or are in recovery. - Adapted transport
Having adapted transport makes a real difference. At MICs Sant Jordi, we offer this service to make transfers to hospitals and medical centres easier, so you don’t have to worry about how to get there and back after your visits. - Support services and assistive equipment
It’s not just about the home itself, but also about having access to what you may need: assistive devices, occasional support, and an environment prepared for people with different levels of dependency.
Emotional support and wellbeing during your stay
A medical stay doesn’t only affect the body—it can also be emotionally draining for you and your family. That’s why choosing accessible housing that provides a calm, safe, and welcoming environment is just as important as the hospital itself.
At MICs Sant Jordi you will find:
- Spaces designed for rest and recovery.
- A close, supportive team with experience assisting people who travel for medical reasons.
- An adapted environment that helps you keep routines, rest better, and feel supported.
Having a home where you can move around safely and comfortably reduces stress and helps you focus on what truly matters: your health and wellbeing.
Practical tips to organise your stay
Before settling into your adapted home in Barcelona, these tips may help:
- Plan your medical appointments and save all the information on your phone.
- Make a checklist of what you need to bring: medication, medical devices, reports, and comfortable clothing.
- Find out about on-call pharmacies and nearby medical services close to your accommodation.
- Ask what assistive equipment the home can provide (adjustable bed, shower chair, etc.).
- Request adapted transport in advance if you need it for getting around.

Our goal is to offer you much more than accommodation: an accessible home in Barcelona while you focus on what matters most—your health.
