Can Living Well HME help me attain funding?

Yes, we can and would be happy to help you.  In many cases you will also need the assistance of an Occupational or Physical Therapist but, no worries, we can help you find one also! 

Yes, we have a great “Try before you Buy” program that allows you to rent the equipment first and apply the first months rent towards the purchase.  We also loan out equipment (at no charge) if you are working with an approved Occupational or Physical Therapist for the duration of your trial period with the therapist (maximum one month).

Unfortunately, most funding bodies will only fund equipment PRIOR to it being purchased.

Some programs cover repair costs if they funded the equipment, and most new equipment includes a warranty for parts. Living Well HME has highly trained and certified technicians that can service all equipment

*(whether purchased at our store or not). 

* Some older or foreign made equipment can not be repaired.
