We only recommend Home Medical Equipment and Supply services that have been surveyed and are 'Senior Approved'.
This industry has grown beyond what you might think of as medical supplies. These businesses often times have staff on duty to assist you in determining if you qualify for Medicaid and Medicare payments.
This category includes power wheel chairs, prescriptions, oxygen, personal response systems and assistive technology.
Many families think they must use the hospital medical supply services, when in fact the choices are beyond what a hospital may offer. And ... it never hurts to do a little price checking ... especially for items that you may use every day. There can be a major difference in fees for oxygen, diabetic supplies, incontinent supplies, support hose and so on.
Useful Gadgets
Are you having difficulty reaching for things? Do you need assistance each time you stand? Difficulty with vision, buttoning buttons, zipping zippers? Have you wondered if there were some kind of 'gadget' that might make your life more comfortable?
It may not occur to you to call a home medical equipment and supply business to learn if there is that perfect 'gadget' or tool that would enable you to maintain a higher level of safety and independence in the home. They are actually very good sources to learn of the latest technology in assistive equipment and supplies.
