Equipment Suppliers list below by state and city
Various forms of health care equipment are sometimes helpful
in providing care. Equipment may include wheelchairs, walkers,
crutches, portable commodes, shower chairs, and electric or
manually- operated hospital beds. Christian Science nurses,
facilities, and visiting nurse services are ready to help
in determining the need for such equipment, suggesting where
to locate it, and providing instruction in its proper use.
It is possible to borrow, rent, or purchase this equipment.
Facilities are often able to loan needed equipment. It is
also possible to buy used equipment in very good condition
at thrift or secondhand stores. Most Yellow Pages list businesses
that rent or sell health care equipment under "Medical
Equipment and Supplies".
If you are resourceful, you may find organizations that lend
equipment free of charge. Your local Christian Science nursing
facility may know of similar services in your area.
