Greetings!

As we head into a hopefully sunny and warm month of May, SelfCare has some exciting events and promotions to offer you.

Let us know if you can attend the Support Surfaces - Choosing the Appropriate Support Surface  inservice. We had a great response to our short survey about interest in this subject, and have organized three dates in May to accommodate everyone's working schedules.

We are featuring our newest product, the Helio Ultra lightweight manual folding wheelchair. Attend our Lunch & Learn to test out this new wheelchair.

For Mother's Day, let your clients know that we are offering $100 off ALL lift chairs - Get the right chair, not just the sale chair. SelfCare proudly supports providing the product that best suits the client's needs. We also rent a full range of 2 and 3 position lift chairs.

Perhaps you can 'pair' the lift chair with an electric bed? We have a special bed offer - $1,100 for a full electric bed with your choice of full or ½ rails.

We look forward to providing you with useful information throughout the year.  Please contact us at any time if you have any comments, questions or topics you want covered by an inservice by emailing kim.mackie@selfcarehome.com.
