Power Mobility and Lift Chairs
Medicare, Medicaid, and Private Insurance are very particular about the steps necessary to qualify. The first step is always a visit with a physician for a face-to-face sit down. Once a doctor has examined the person and determined that the item is needed a prescription must be provided. The provider is going to need supporting medical records from the doctor showing a history and need for the item, a prescription is not sufficient enough to get the item/s covered by insurance. The next step is going to be a home assessment to ensure that the client has adequate access and maneuverability space in the home. The item/s are for home use only and if your home can not accommodate the item then insurance will not pay for the item/s. The final step will be ordering and delivery of the item. At this time a trained employee will show the client how to operate the item, and talk about maintenance care.
Power Wheelchairs
A wheelchair that is propelled by means of an electric motor rather than manual power. Motorized wheelchairs are useful for those unable to propel a manual wheelchair or who may need to use a wheelchair for distances or over terrain which would be fatiguing in a manual wheelchair. They may also be used not just by people with 'traditional' mobility impairments, but also by people with cardiovascular and fatigue based conditions. Power wheelchairs come in many different styles and configurations. We carry Drive Medical, Invacare, and Golden power wheelchairs.

Lift Recliners
Chairs that feature a powered lifting mechanism that pushes the entire chair up from its base, allowing the user to easily move to a standing position. Most lift chairs will work with weights up to 375-450 pounds, although some can handle up to 700 lbs. A two position lift chair has a lift position and a slight recline position: as the user reclines in a two position lift chair, his back & thighs will stay at about 90 degrees; they do not recline for sleeping. A three position lift chair will recline to about 135 degrees, which allows most people to sleep. An infinite position lift chair allows the chair to go fully flat, and the back and the feet to move independently. It sometimes allows the Trendelenburg position, with the feet above the heart. We offer a full line from Golden Technologies and Medlift to accommodate any clients needs.
