Funding

There's more funding out there than you think.

Provincial programs, federal benefits, workplace insurance and charitable funds — Ontario residents have more routes to funded equipment than most people ever hear about. We work with these programs every week, and we'll do the navigating with you.

Ready to learn how the process works?

Three steps — and we're beside you for all of them.

1

Get started

Contact us early. Funding approvals take time, so the sooner we talk, the sooner you're equipped. A five-minute call to 519 904 4932 usually identifies which programs apply to you.

Review equipment options. Try equipment at our Thornbury showroom or during a free in-home assessment — and if a program requires a therapist's prescription, we'll connect you with an ADP-authorized therapist.

2

Access funding

Match the program to you. Coverage differs by program, age, income and situation — we map your case against everything below so nothing gets missed.

Apply. Your therapist handles the clinical side where required; we complete the vendor side of every application and submit it.

Track it to approval. We monitor every application we submit and keep you posted.

3

Get your equipment

Place the order. Once funding is approved, we order and prepare your equipment.

Get the fit just right. Our own team delivers, installs and adjusts everything to you — and we service it locally for as long as you own it.
