Medical Equipment Lending for Seniors in North Ottawa County

How our medical equipment loan program works
Our community-based medical equipment lending library makes it easier to get temporary access to everyday essentials. Through this program, we offer medical equipment loans to eligible community members. Items are lent for a defined period and then returned so others can benefit.
Purpose:
short-term safety, mobility, and daily living support
Availability:
inventory changes based on donations and returns
Access:
first-come, first-served; reservations are completed after we confirm availability
This service is designed for local seniors (60+) and family caregivers who need a bridge solution during recovery or while arranging long-term options. Four Pointes does not sell equipment; we provide durable medical equipment lending so you can use what you need and return it when you’re done.
