MESA, Arizona—ACME Home Care, a provider of a wide variety of homecare services, has announced the launch of a fully integrated home medical equipment program that gives long-term care clients access to critical mobility and safety equipment including delivery, installation and ongoing support at no additional cost as part of their care plan. Companion care clients with temporary needs can also access equipment through low-fee leases.
ACME said the introduction of medical equipment services aims to address the logistical obstacles that often confront families during stressful times, such as hospital discharge or sudden changes in health conditions. ACME said it identified a recurring pattern: families scrambling to find hospital beds, shower chairs or safety equipment at the last minute, often coordinating with multiple third-party vendors while also managing their loved one's care.
The company said the program's launch was guided by listening to both caregivers and client families, who described the challenges of piecing together care tools on their own. ACME responded by maintaining an in-house inventory—stored locally and managed by trained staff—to provide immediate access to the most-used and most-needed equipment. The process includes personalized assessment, delivery, setup, maintenance and hands-on instruction, removing barriers for both short- and long-term clients.
Offered items include Hoyer lifts for safe transfers, adjustable hospital beds for positioning and recovery, stand-up recliners (lift chairs) to boost independence and essential bathroom safety equipment such as shower chairs and transfer benches. The inventory also includes wheelchairs, transport chairs, walkers, rollators, bedside commodes and overbed tables--helping clients and caregivers manage everyday tasks with greater ease and less risk.
"Equipment should never be the barrier that stands between a family and the care they deserve," said Rebecca Donovan, founder of ACME. "By integrating these essential tools directly into our plans, we're removing stress and setting a higher bar for what home care can be."
