March 16, 2018 11:05 AM
Buying medical equipment such as a rolling walty proker or a cane can be scary and frustrating. But according to experts, the best way to find qualiducts that work for you is to treat the purchase like you would a car or appliance.
All it takes is one fall, an illness or an accident to keep you from the ranks of the truly independent, either temporarily or permanently. And if something like that were to befall you, would you know how to go about buying a piece of in-home medical equipment, like a cane or a walker? Are they items you can just buy online or should you treat them like you would a car or refrigerator purchase? Patrick Conboy founder of ELDERLUXE.com weighs in for the Queen's Chronicle.

It’s less than two pounds and folds up like a rolled-up newspaper"
