Goodwill's Medical Adaptive Assistive Technology Program provides FREE medical and adaptive equipment and supplies to older adults and persons with disabilities, to enhance their daily living.
The professionally staffed program provides medical/adaptive equipment, including new and gently used manual and power wheelchairs, ambulatory devices (walkers and canes), scooters and bathroom safety equipment (raised toilet seats and shower seats). Medical supplies, such as disposable diapers and chuxs, and other items are available for emergency needs as well.
Items donated by the local community are received, inspected, repaired as needed, then cleaned. They are then distributed to persons in need based on requests and recommendations for assistance, which can be made at any time by referral sources. A waiting list is available for equipment not in inventory.
The program provides assessment and supplies to individuals who have a need, whether it is to try out equipment before making a purchase, borrowing supplies in the short-term for emergency use, or while completing funding arrangements. The goal is to help individuals to increase self-confidence, and have greater independence.
To request medical or adaptive equipment or supplies, or to make a referral, individuals can call the Medical Adaptive Manager at (804) 521-4916, or Administrative Specialist at (804) 521-4923. The application process for items includes submission of an approved prescription by a doctor or other medical professional.
The program is operated at Goodwill's main facility at 6301 Midlothian Turnpike in the City of Richmond.
In addition to the direct services provided through the Medical Adaptive Assistive Technology Program, Goodwill's area Employment Centers, located in Richmond, Petersburg, and Mechanicsville, can assist in developing employment opportunities for those who use the program.
Services include job development, employment preparation, placement services, and support in locating, obtaining and maintaining employment.
For more information on these services, please call (804) 675-9910.
