Save Time. Save Money. Let Us Deliver!

Goggles-160We Deliver!

Did you know that gas prices are averaging $3.63 per gallon in Oregon?

Did you know that we also spend almost half of our leisure time in our cars running errands?

Running errands can be a drag, especially when your time is limited, or if you just want to enjoy yourself with a fun activity instead of driving around in your car from place to place, wasting gas. We've all been there - you make a list, drive to the store, get all the way home only to find that you forgot ONE thing. So frustrating!

Wouldn't we all love to cross at least one of those errands off our lists?

Enter: Pacific Medical Supply Salem. Make your list, give us a call, and if it's in stock we can put your order together and deliver it directly to you. No more hassle.

Take a look at some of the items we can deliver to you:

If we don't have an item in stock available for quick delivery, give us a call with the details of the specific item you are interested in, and we will do our best to track it down for you so we CAN deliver it.

Count on us for all your home health care needs. We're here to help, and take some stress off your daily schedule. Call us today!

Never Take Grandpa To The Movies

Never take Grandpa to the movies.
If you do, be prepared to park him and his Walker up front.
He will want ice cream.
He will want a Diet Coke.
He will comment to Grandma THE ENTIRE TIME!
Grandma is no better, she will drop her keys,
then proceed to look for them under her seat with a flashlight.
Yeah, Good Times. 

For more good times, call Pacific Medical Supply for your movie-going with the Elderly needs.  No popcorn, you are on your own for snacks.

Cell Phone Only Calls Jimmy-Walkers Are Simple

My brother Jimmy, gave my mom a cell phone that he programmed with all of our numbers.  Only one problem, my mom claims the phone only calls Jimmy.  

The simple phone he gave her, is too simple. As a Senior, this is not technology that she embraces. She couldn't figure out how to use it, even with the instruction book.  Jimmy kept telling Mom he got her the easiest phone to use.

I tried to help her.  Mom's phone gave me a run for my money.  Here is the issue.  The big button in the middle, is actually TWO buttons.  That was the problem.  You have to push the little silver RING around the big BUTTON to get to other people's numbers.  Simple.

That's why I like the Invacare Dual Release Walker from Pacific Medical Supply.  No buttons, no gadgets, no fancy parts or things to program.  Simple.

  • Lighter and easier to lift and maneuver.
  • PVS handgrips wear longer and provide greater comfort.
  • Walkers fold easily for transport or storage.
