Why Rent Instead of Buy?
Renting lets you:
Try before committing to a costly device
Support short-term mobility during recovery
Give visiting family members safe, independent access while staying
Bridge the gap while waiting for funding or pre-approval
More than 27% of Canadians 15+ live with a disability, and falls remain the top reason older Canadians are hospitalized. Having access to powered mobility, even temporarily, can help prevent falls and preserve independence.
