Mobility Manawatu

- Writes Kem Ormond

The time comes when we all need a little help and assistance around the home in the form of mobility equipment, a resource that will make your life just a little easier.

This is where Mobility Manawatu can help you make the transition and they do it in a friendly and profession­al manner.

Rob and Letitia Stick started this familybase­d business 16 years ago and presently employ five staff.

Mobility Manawatu covers the extended Manawatu / Horowhenua / Kapiti, Tararua & Wanganui areas - south to Paraparaum­u and Eketahuna, East to Takapau and North to Waverly, Ohakune & Waiouru including Palmerston North, Levin, Wanganui & Feilding.

People are their business, and they realise that it is not always easy for their customers to make some of the much-needed changes and by being approachab­le, helpful, discreet and un-biased, they help put customers at ease.

Having their store at 222 Ruahine Street, Palmerston North, you can see stock displayed, browse at your leisure, with qualified staff there to assist and answer questions.

If getting out of your home is difficult, then their mobile showroom can call on you with selected product for a free no obligation demonstrat­ion/trial in your own home environmen­t. This way you can see if the product you are requiring is going to work for you in your surroundin­gs. Training is a big part of Mobility Manawatu’s ongoing business along with after sales service.

Not only do they sell mobility aids, they service and repair them, and they also offer a wide range of rental equipment for short- or long-term use. This is so handy if you have visiting parents or if you are recovering from an operation. They also do trade-ins, finance and funding to help you with your purchases.

With a wide range of equipment, knowledge and resources, this team can assist and recommend products. They can come to your home, do an assessment, and give you a quote. They also can customise equipment to make it more user friendly for customers. With fully equipped mobile service vans calling on you to make repairs or service your wheelchair, mobility scooter, walking frame, hoist lift chair golf cart or even your electric bed is just so easy.

Safety is a number one priority in all the operation at Mobility Manawatu and they take this very seriously. That is why they have had their business assessed and they have been awarded a Sitewise gold safety rating. They are Insurance, WINZ and ACC approved suppliers and repairers of mobility equipment, supply and install grabrails and ramps, Linak certified repairers, AML certified technician­s and Vestner NZ and Outback bathroom sub-contractor­s. So, if it is to do with mobility aids, you could say they have a pretty good handle on most things! Mobility Manawatu enhance lifestyles by providing personal and mobility aids so you or your loved ones can stay independen­t with dignity and confidence.
