Equipment Programs
What We Offer
- Interest-Free Purchase Program: At Easter Seals Alberta, we know that living with a disability or medical condition can come with unique challenges—especially when it comes to purchasing the essential equipment needed to maintain independence and quality of life. That’s why we created the Interest-Free Purchase Program—a program designed to support Alberta families by making necessary equipment accessible and affordable.
- Equipment Loan Program: The Equipment Loan Program serves as a ‘Last Resort” funding option for individuals who do not qualify for government-based funding, such as Alberta Aids to Daily Living (AADL) and who have exhausted all other funding options. Our program offers funding for a wide range of accessibility equipment. From mobility devices to lifts, we’re committed to helping you take the next step toward greater independence.
