(10,969 posts)My parents moved here in the early 80s, and I'm here now, since they've passed away. This community has been doing the same thing for as long as I can remember.
Whatever you need, chances are it's in what we call the medical room.
My mom used a borrowed wheelchair for the last two years of her life. I needed crutches at one point and was able to get them.
I've donated equipment to the cause. It's nice to know that it all gets used, over and over and over.
Every community that can, should do this. Huge savings, and if you need something quickly, you don't have to wait for an order to be shipped to your home, or to send someone shopping for something.
