Approval first, then buy or rent
Or contact your city or county long-term care management centre; for a family member in hospital, the discharge planning service can start it before they go home
A home visit sets the long-term care level; if equipment is needed, an assistive device assessor confirms the items and writes a report
The approval notice lists the items and the allowance you can use; choose and order only after it arrives
The invoice must be dated after approval; in some areas the contracted shop deducts the subsidy up front and you pay your share
The invoice and documents are submitted under local rules, and the allowance is drawn down
Equipment bought before approval cannot be claimed afterwards

Delivery rules, collection and warrantyA shop that sells and rents home care equipment. Beds, chairs and wheelchairs wait in the showroom to be tried; when needed we visit to measure doors, stairs and bedside space before you decide to buy, rent or apply for a subsidy
Care beds, recliners and wheelchairs are in the showroom to try with your family; seat width, seat height and handle position can be measured on the spot
Showroom address (placeholder, filled in at launch)
Add public transport, parking and the step-free entrance before launch
We measure doors, stairs and landings, bedside space and the way to the toilet, check the route in, then quote
A shop visit measures the space and shows how things work; it is not the long-term care equipment assessment
