Stroke Talk!

Any advice on best equiptment to use to care for my 42 year old husband who had a bad stroke leaving him paralized on left side.We cannot get into a rehab place because we had to turn to medicaid as my husband is the sole provider for a family of four.As I was informed physical theropy is a luxury and not a necessity in the state of Florida and medicaid is limited on what they will cover so he gets very limited amount of physical theropy and no occupational theropy. Thanks for any advice,comments, help,and sugessitions for day to day living

I'm not sure what sort of home medical supplies or physical therapy equipment you may be looking for, but definitely feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. If we don't have any medical equipment to offer we can at least point you in the right direction. You can call toll free at 888.345.4858.
