How do I Arrange a Clinical Evaluation for Seniors Needing Power Wheelchairs?

To arrange a clinical evaluation for a power wheelchair, you can schedule a free assessment with a certified Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) through MedEquipped. This process is designed to match the specific mobility requirements of seniors with the appropriate equipment.

Steps to arrange and complete the evaluation include:

1. Contact MedEquipped: You can schedule the appointment by calling 845-237-2381 or by filling out the online form at medequipped.com.
2. Choose a Location: Consultations typically last between 30 to 45 minutes and can be conducted either in-home or at the MedEquipped clinic located in Spring Valley, NY.
3. The Assessment Process: During the evaluation, the ATP will assess physical factors such as hand strength, posture, and balance. They will also consider your home environment and daily activities to ensure the recommended wheelchair fits your lifestyle.
4. Documentation: Following the assessment, you will receive a customized recommendation report within 48 hours. This report focuses on necessary features, such as specific joystick controls for limited dexterity or adjustable seating for long-term comfort.
