  Where to suggest buying tub bench for low income patients? Acute care OTs: I have had a few patients that have mentioned they cannot afford buying a tub bench and wondering where they can find cheaper options (or if the hospital provides them, which it doesn’t) This might be an ignorant question but do insurance companies typically cover a tub bench? Also, I know that goodwill typically has extra walkers, but I’ve never seen a tub bench there. Just looking for a little extra info on this topic so I can effectively help my patients. Thanks in advance :)

  My parents came up and are staying with me for while... We have a hard time getting him around ... He had a stroke a few years ago and was hoping to find someone that may have a wheel chair available....... We checked the pharmacy and it's like 35.00 A day.... That's like a car rental ..!!!! Thought I'd post to see if anyone has any ideas or knows someone that can help us....

  Danielle G. asked:

  My in-laws bought a storage unit a few weeks ago. There was a wheelchair used for someone with cerebral palsy in it. They tried to give it to a local school for special needs children but the school wasn't allowed to accept it. Anyone know a family in need of a children's wheelchair? It has the adjustable headrest . I can get pictures of it if needed!

  Angel S. asked:

  I am in search of a Tomato soft sitter chair size 3 or larger or a similar feeding seat style chair. My daughter is quickly outgrowing her current one and we need a replacement. Please let me know if you have one needing a new home, I will travel to get it. If you have another type chair that may work please let me know, I am open to suggestion. I do need full support as she has not upper body control and very little head control Please PM me with details and price.

  have you heard of www.fodac.org I just found out about them from another mom that has gotten DME from them before. You might also look on the SC Assistive Technology Exchange: www.scatpexchange.net. We love our Tomato seat and will be sad when we have to replace it too!

  Does anyone know where I can take really old useless clothes for recycling? There are not even thrift shop worthy. I have read that we are not supposed to throw out even old stained or torn clothing...

  

  Any clothes torn, stains, etc. You can take to FODAC.org they bundle and drop in countries that have none. Diana
