For all your access needs, Alpha Care Supply is the place to go.
Family-owned and operated for 18 years; owner, founder and president Don Walker explained “my major impetus was to have a business for my three sons.”
It was one son’s needs that initially took Walker into the business of mobility — power chairs and scooter.
“This opened up the market for the access business later,” he said. “The powered mobility market changed and we found another niche.”
Now Walker and his sons serve the Metropolitan area, including the five boroughs, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, and Rockland counties.
Specializing in ramps, stair lifts, vertical porch lifts, and other access solutions, Alpha has stocked inventory ready for rapid turn-around time.
“Most of our products are readily available, allowing us to be very responsive in the Metro area.”
“Aging seniors, and those disabled really need this equipment,” Walker said. “There is an overall push and desire to keep people in their own homes rather than move them into assisted living facilities or nursing homes.”
But more than just accessibility, Walker stressed Alpha’s concern for customer safety.
“If there’s a fire, or medical emergency, they need to be able to get out. We provide safe, usable ramps. Safety is our top priority.”
Walker said that their products can either be purchased for long term use, or rented for short-term temporary use, and their products are not just for private homes.
Alpha, which is licensed and insured, has outfitted churches, hospitals, synagogues, universities, and works with federal, state, and city facilities.
And in today’s economy, Alpha is “very conscious of the costs of these items, and we will provide the most cost-effective ramp we can,” said Walker. “No one ever saves up to buy a ramp or stair lift!” Alpha does the right job for the right price.
In fact, they will evaluate your needs at no obligation to you.
Other products available include patient handling systems (ceiling tracks, etc) walk-in bathtubs and bathtub lifts
