Home Health and Medical Supplies on Bruce Street is a local provider of tools for people looking to stay independent while they receive care.
Co-owner Glen Guyea says that it’s nice to be in your home when you’re not well and that more people are being cared for within the comforts of their home as hospitals continue to fend off overcrowding.
The store features a wide range of equipment that can help you keep your balance and move with greater ease, ranging from wheelchairs, canes, and walkers to items to assist you in the bath and washroom, and even recliners that can articulate to help you out of the chair when you want to stand up.
Guyea himself specializes in measuring wheelchairs and other mobility items and will often meet with clients multiple times to ensure the adjustments made are the right ones. While you don’t always need a referral from a medical professional in order to purchase a piece of mobility equipment, Guyea does recommend checking with your physician to see which one would be best for you.
