Our equipment loan program provides free crutches, walkers, canes and wheelchairs to residents of Henrietta, Chili, Scottsville, Wheatland and Caledonia at no charge.
Important Notes
- To borrow one of these items, simply stop by our headquarters and sign them out. We will request your name, telephone number and zip code.
- You may keep crutches, walkers, and canes for as long as you need. However, we do ask that you kindly return them in a prompt fashion when you’re done so that others can benefit from this great service.
- Wheelchairs may be signed out for a maximum of 6 weeks. They are required to be returned to us after 6 weeks so that other residents can benefit from their use. When signing out a wheelchair, we require a valid form of ID/NYS license showing a Henrietta, Chili, Scottsville, Wheatland or Caledonia address. Due to the high value of wheelchairs, each one is tagged with a unique ID number so we closely track their distribution within the community.
- You may contact us at (585) 334-4190 prior to coming in to check the availability of items. Depending on availability, we may hold crutches, walkers, and canes for you over the phone for 24-48 hours. Unfortunately, we cannot hold or reserve a wheelchair (they are first come, first serve).
- We do not offer commodes, shower chairs, beds, lifts, power wheelchairs or any other type of durable medical equipment
- You must be a resident of Henrietta, Chili, Scottsville, Wheatland or Caledonia to borrow from us. There is no charge for this service.
Should you need a wheelchair for longer than 6 weeks, we recommend contacting your primary physician’s office for recommendations. They may be able to guide you in the right direction and/or write you a prescription for a wheelchair that may be covered under your medical insurance policy.
