Health Craft SuperPole Instructional Video

The Health Craft SuperPole is an innovative fall prevention aid. The floor to ceiling SuperPole is safe, secure, and incredibly easy to install. The easy installation insures the SuperPole can be conveniently placed in any of the rooms of your home (the bathroom and bedroom are popular choices). An ergonomic, pivoting handle on the pole allows you to rise or sit safely and easily.

 

Drive Adjustable Arms All Purpose Kitchen Stool Instructional Video

The Drive All Purpose Kitchen Stool is an ideal seat for people with mobility and/or balance issues. The Drive Kitchen Stool is padded for comfort, and the ergonomically angled seat makes sitting down/standing up easier than traditional tall stools. This versatile seat can be used as a hip chair, and is ideal for post hip surgery rehab. The height on this all purpose kitchen stool is adjustable for a customized fit to each individual. Drive Medical has done an excellent job desiging this seat to be secure while also being incredibly lightweight for easy portability to any room in the house. One customer sent us this review: "Everything I have ordered from you has been wonderful. I just received the kitchen stool and it is a life saver." (Jacqueline S.)

 

Laser Cane Instructional Video

The Laser Cane is specifically designed to help individuals with various neurological conditions who may suffer from "freezing episodes." The Laser Cane beams a line on the ground which becomes a "target" for the cane user to step over to help overcome freezing episodes. The cane has a weight activated power switch so you never have to worry about remembering to turn the light beam on or off (and the two, AA batteries for the power source have a long life and can be easily replaced). The laser cane is height adjustable from 5'0" to 6'1". An additional plus -- the Laser Cane is made in the U.S.A.

Activeforever now carries Aeroneb Go Micropump Nebulizer

Aeroneb Go Micropump Nebulizer

ActiveForeverTM Now Carries the Aeroneb®Go Micropump Nebulizer
Enabling More Freedom and Better Health to Those on the Go

Scottsdale, AZ – October 19, 2005 -- Scottsdale based ActiveForever, a highly recommended source and leading distributor of unique home and workplace comfort, ADL, mobility and convenience products, prides itself in researching the quality and functionality of the products that they carry. ActiveForever is now proud to carry the fast, simple and efficient AeronebGo Micropump Nebulizer.

Due to avid requests from our customers in search of a compact nebulizer that they can use on the go, we did extensive research to find the highest quality solution at an affordable price. Our customers are very active and requested a nebulizer that is compact, easy to use and that efficiently and rapidly completes the treatment, so that they can go about their day. During our research we found that the AeronebGo is by far the most advanced in the market and has everything that our customers asked for and more!

Designed with convenience in mind, it is ultra-lightweight, portable, silent, and boasts hassle free set-up and operation. It is powered with either an AC powered controller or battery powered controller; both included with the AeronebGo. The AeronebGo can be used by pediatric as well as adult patients and is ideal for conditions such as asthma, (COPD) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cystic fibrosis.

The technology of this nebulizer is unlike any other on the market. It features the OnQ™ electronic micro-pump, trusted by hospitals worldwide. When you turn on the device, the OnQ Aerosol Generator pumps liquid through tiny holes in the wafer-thin metal plate to create a high quality, respirable, soft mist Aerosol. The AeronebGo Aerosolizes down to the last drop, minimizing medication waste.

“When our customers come to us with urgent requests, nothing makes us happier than when we find the perfect answer, and we can offer it at a great price! We are also very grateful to our manufacturers for treating us so well, and we just want to broadcast our findings to the world” states Erika Feinberg, CEO of ActiveForever.

Please look for the AeronebGo in the Oxygen Therapy department on our ActiveForever website. ActiveForever products can be ordered online at www.ActiveForever.com, by print catalog or by phone at 1-800-377-8033.

HME Business

By J. Daniel Hull, Jay Williams

Jun 01, 2005

Company Name:Active Forever Location/Contact Info: 10799 North 90th Street Scottsdale, AZ 85260 800-377-8033; customerservice(at)activeforever.com www.activeforever.com Established: 1991

Types of products sold: "We research best choices of product solutions for practically every physical challenge you can image for daily living activities," said CEO Erika Feinberg.

Size of Company (employees, clients per year): 4,000 new customers a month

Home Health Products spoke with Feinberg about Active Forever's successful Web site and in-store business that operates with zero insurance billing.

Q:What is unusual/unique about the store?

A:All the customer service counselors are on wireless headsets, while they're talking to someone about an order, they can walk over and play with the product and demonstrate it. The 5,000 square foot store is part of our corporate headquarters and it's set up like Sharper Image. People can come in to try things.

What we carry is motivated by our local health care facilities; we're surrounded by three Mayo clinics, Scottsdale Healthcare, St. Josephs Hospital and Bayer Neurological Institute.

Q:Describe your relationship with your manufacturers.

A:We always have a very detailed three-page questionnaire that we run our potential suppliers through before we'll consider carrying their product. There are many things we require of them regarding returns, maintenance and what type of warranties or guarantees they have on their products. The number one is how quickly they can get us the products. Whether they're shipping to our warehouse, or to our customer, we require that they ship immediately.

The reason I say that's so important is because none of us plan for trauma. And when someone needs these things, they need them immediately. We have an arrangement with our shipping company, especially in Arizona, where the product goes out next day without any extra cost.

Q:What is something you have learned from your experience in the HME industry?

A:Most of it is driven by insurance and we completely understand why some HMEs are insurance driven. I encourage traditional DME companies to embrace that and work with us. We're not competing, because we do absolutely zero insurance billing and we could be a wonderful complement. If their customers are coming in looking for products they don't carry just pass them off to us and we'll take care of them. Lots of times, we have people coming in saying, 'I wonder if insurance will cover this,' and we just send them to our favorite DMEs.

Q:What has brought you success in the past?

A:The Web site has been around for 14 years. It went through transformation two and a half years ago, and we're only on the 10 yard line when it comes to vision for the Web business. We still have a long away to go to fulfill our vision of what we'd like people to experience when they're there. But we're still getting major awards and recognition for what we've done.

Our goal is to have the consumer rely on us the way they rely on a family member--a really smart family member.

Forget we're in medical and rehab, it's about thoughtful, wonderful, caring, honest service. Especially since we're also dealing with trauma, it's about helping guide the way to more normal living--instead of looking at what's going to be reimbursed and what's not going to be reimbursed.

Fun Fact: Anyone who calls into the call center will be greeted with, "How can I make your life easier today?"
