Special
Needs Equipment
Getting the right piece of mobility equipment is like
getting your first car - it's a ticket to freedom and independent
living. We offer a range of special needs equipment to help you
get around, from wheelchairs and walkers to bath bars and benches.
The program, except for retail items, is fully funded
by Saskatchewan Health and operated under contract
by the Saskatchewan Abilities Council. You must have a valid Saskatchewan
Health Services Card to use this program. Persons covered by the
Saskatchewan Income Plan, Supplementary Health and children covered
by Family Health Benefits may receive retail items at no cost based
on a requisition from an authorized healthcare professional.
The equipment falls into three categories: items
that must be requisitioned by a professional, items
you can buy yourself, and third
party purchases, such as a government department.
We also offer repair services on special Needs Equipment on loan and, when possible,
your own private equipment.
Repair and Maintenance Services
If your special needs equipment needs repair, there's a good chance we can fix
it. Our technicians will repair our loaned equipment at no cost to you. There
may be a shipping charge, depending on your location.
Please note that we are unable to offer repairs to
scooters. Electric wheelchairs under the SAIL program, however,
are covered.
Special Needs Equipment and services are available
through our Yorkton, Regina, Swift Current and Prince Albert depots
as well as Provincial Services and Central Warehouse in Saskatoon.
