For most people, the accelerated pace of the holidays only adds to the excitement.  But many fail to realize there is a huge chunk of the population that actually prefers a slower pace, and is therefore more prone to anxiety and overwhelm during the holidays.  Some simply easily become overstimulated by too much social interaction, light, noises, busyness, and the like, while other’s have to exert extra energy to engage in holiday events due to medical equipment and physical limitations.  Whether it’s a sensory sensitivity or physical challenge, everyone will be a lot happier during the holidays if we just took a moment as hosts to think of the people we will be celebrating with, and how we can accommodate everyone to have an equally enjoyable experience.  Here...

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room.  No, not that little fuzzy purple thing your daughter left in the corner with 3 Cheerios to hold it over till dinner. We’re talking about the fact that medical equipment usually doesn’t come cheap. (And if it does, it probably won’t last or work well. But that’s a whole other issue…)  It’s tough.  You have medical bills for treatments, check-ups, and tests, and now you’re also expected to purchase one of the biggest technological advancements of the modern age like a standing power chair?  It’s asking a lot.  But the truth is, unlike many other countries in the world, there are many different avenues to explore for large purchases.  Still doesn’t make it easy, but it’s not impossible.  As...

When we deal with pain or injury on a daily basis, this is one thing constantly on our minds: How do we stay as comfortable as possible throughout the day? Whether it’s a leg injury, a strained back, or another issue, something that used to be as simple as getting up from the couch to after watching our favorite show may now be an excruciating experience. No thanks. Your rest, relaxation, and movie time with the family shouldn’t be hindered by pain, and a lift chair can change everything. Here’s just a few reasons a lift chair might be the next most important investment into your own wellbeing and enjoyment of life: 1 - EASE OF EXIT First of all, what’s the worst part of sinking into a wonderfully comfortable couch or lazy-chair?  Right:  Getting out...

If you didn't know, October is Down syndrome awareness month! Now, you could just read a fact sheet aboutDown syndrome, but we'd rather read a authentic story like Caleb's.  Here's what his mother Karen beautifully expressed on intsagram that we just had to share: Approximately 50%+ of children born with Down syndrome will have heart conditions; many will have corrective surgery. It’s helped to bring the life expectancy for people with Ds from the mid-twenties to the 60’s & up! The week Caleb was born, we not only got the “potential Down syndrome” news, but also news that he had two heart defects. I can tell you honestly that the heart conditions, and the thought of surgery, frightened me much more than the suspicion that he had Ds. I still remember...

If you don't know us very well yet, here's one thing we feel strongly about:  Being out in our community! Simply staying within the four walls of our business is a foreign concept to us- and this goes beyond simply heading out to see our customers when they need in-home assessments or equipment repairs! There are many great events we love to be a part of in our SoCal community, and one of our favorites is the Rancho Spinal Injury Games! This event is a great opportunity for participants to try out all types of wheelchair sports, get to know new people in their area, find out about useful resources, and just....enjoy the California sunshine! Like any other event we attend, the best part is getting to meet these amazing people! New faces... Great conversations... Fun competitions... Man...
