EQUIPMENT

The Prince William Area Agency on Aging wants to ensure that Caregivers are provided with the durable medical equipment (DME) that enhances their ability to provide the best level of care to their care recipients. Equipment that is not covered by any other insurance source that the caregiver believes will benefit the level of care they can provide to the care recipient can be ordered and shipped directly to the caregiver. Examples of equipment that are provided include shower chairs, lifts, walkers, or wheelchairs.

Project Mend-A-House is a non-profit foundation which also provides adaptive daily living aids such as motorized chairlifts (stair climbers), hospital beds, portable ramps, raised toilet seats, walkers, and scooters. For more information visit pmahweb.org.
