It’s a great place to definitely get disabled equipment from when you don’t have a lot of money or your insurance won’t cover it. I’ve worked with Cindy and she’s such a great person kind soul and is so caring every time we meet. I was really going through a tuff time these few months ago. My son was in Canada on a trip with friends and he got into a car accident. He had to get cut out of his car. I couldn’t get to him and I felt so helpless. He needed a lot of things that I couldn’t pay for or his insurance wouldn’t pay for as far as the equipment that he needed when he got home. I called and Cindy was there for me getting all his measurements so she could find the right fit. It took him a few months to get walking again but their equipment helped my son get back to a norm. He so happy, p

An excellent organization with lovely staff. I have participated in a few public meetings in their classrooms, which are apt for the purpose.

I've been waiting for 2 months to hear from someone from intake. They keep telling me to not come in that I'll be wasting my gas, which I'm on the bus. That's personal. My mother wants to go through them but they're not contacting us. I've already emailed corporate so we can find out what's really going. That's very rude and inconsiderate of them to brush us off.
