Hi
Will you be staying in a hotel? If so, I don’t think any hotel would let you bring in a rental bed because they would need to store the other bed in the meantime etc.
These hotels have motorized beds:

As for commodes it depends on your meaning. Most if not all hotels have a basic shower chair. If you need something for using the toilet as well, rental companies do not offer rentals for hygienic reasons. So, you might want to consider buying or bringing one with you…
