Medical Equipment Loan Closet Update
The Medical Equipment Loan Closet is up and running. Our loan closet is an amazing resource for people with temporary equipment needs due to injury or surgery, or for those who find it hard to do certain things and could use a little support permanently. We carry wheelchairs, walkers, knee scooters, rollators, crutches, canes, shower chairs, toilet frames, bed rails, and incontinence supplies, as well as other small items.
We are currently seeking donations of wheelchairs, shower transfer benches, rollators, and walkers.
Please contact Sarah Green Vaswani via email at [email protected] or call her at 978-639-3223 for more information about donating and/or borrowing equipment.
Please do not drop off any equipment at the Senior Center, as we do not currently have the capacity to clean and store additional equipment. Unfortunately, anything dropped off without prior approval will be disposed of.
The closet is open by appointment only, but requests can often be accommodated on the same day.
