Medical supplies and equipment

[vacation dreamer]

Question....what medical supply companies has anyone used for a WDW trip? After looking at pictures of the handicap rooms we will need more bathroom equipment. TIA

WE use Care medical, which reminds me I need to call them and set it up for this year. We have used them for 6 years now.

What sort of additional equipment will you be needing? Often it may be possible that the rooms will be equipped. Also, so equipment may be available at no charge from Disney.

We have used Apria. This is also the company we use at home so it worked out well.

Can you share the phone number or email with me?

We need an adapted toilet for an adult with bars on the sides and a bluewave for a child. Instead of packing a whole suitcase or 2, we would need to get diapers, adults and child sizes and blue pads/chucks. There are other things but I can't think right now! lol

There is a link to Care Medical in the disABILITIES FAQs thread near the top of the thread list (look for the green arrow pointing to the thread title).
Here is a link to Care for you.
You could also try calling the WDW Special Reservations Line: (407) 939-7807 - option 1
to see if they have suggested places to get equipment from.
Also check with your current supplier. They may have a branch or a company that they 'co-operate' with at WDW. If so, that might make billing for anything that could be charged to insurance easier. It's possible they could ship some of the products like diapers/blu pads or you could ship some to yourself care of the resort.

You have a good chance of getting 'common' equipment, but it's possible that they may not rent more specialty equipment (like the Bluewave). It's easier to rent equipment for adults in general than for kids because the 'kid' equipment is usually more specialized and there is less demand for it.
