Vancouver, BC, and Scottsdale, AZ, August 1, 2018 – LifeSupply, Canada’s leading online retailer of home medical products, and Rest-A-Desk LLC today announced a strategic partnership to make fully reclinable computer work stations available in Canada.

Through this partnership, LifeSupply’s online retail platform (lifesupply.ca) will provide Canadians with secure and convenient access to Rest-A-Desk™ fully-reclinable computer workstations. LifeSupply.ca is a virtual store where shoppers create accounts, place orders, and conduct secure transactions, anywhere, anytime and on the go.

Medical research shows that reclining reduces musculoskeletal strain. Rest-A-Desk’s patented design lets you position the separate monitor and keyboard platforms wherever your computing position completely relaxes your neck, arms, shoulders, and back.

“We are thrilled to partner with Rest-A-Desk to offer Canadians an innovative solution on pain reduction and prevention”, said Ben Hastibakhsh, VP of Business development. “Our online platform amalgamates intuitive navigation tools, instant interactions, and secure transactions, as we take the shopping experience to savvy consumers who appreciate quality wellness products.”

“Thomas Jefferson wrote, ‘The art of life is the art of avoiding pain,’” said Dr. Jeff Gauer, Rest-A-Desk’s inventor. “We are thrilled to partner with LifeSupply so that Canadians can use their computer painlessly from the comfort of their recliner or bed.”

The Vancouver Sun (November 26, 2014 - page C9)

As we age, more and more of us are going to require some sort of assisted living devices and modifications in our homes. A recent Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. study suggests 85 per cent of Canadians want to stay in their homes for as long as possible, even if there are changes in their health. And that means thinking

about ways to prevent injuries, to ease living conditions and to stay mobile — whether outside, or even in our own homes.

“In reality, once we’re 55 and older, we’ve really got to start thinking about our housing environment,” Dr. John Puxty, associate professor and chair of the division of geriatric medicine in the department of medicine at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., told the Financial Post earlier this year.

This could include anything from installing a ramp or stairlift to installing bed rails and bath-and shower support bars.

The best way to begin planning for home modifications is to go through your home room by room and ask a series of questions to highlight where changes might be made. For instance: are there grab bars where needed? Are doors wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair or a walker? Can you get into and out of the bathtub or shower easily?

Of course, the answers will vary from person to person.

“There are no cookie-cutter solutions,” says Ben Hastibakhsh of LifeSupply. A home medical supply company based in Vancouver, LifeSupply provides a full range of assisted-living and other kinds of devices and equipment. “It’s important to find the right solution for individuals.”

The company has a showroom, at 2136 E. Hastings. But LifeSupply also caters to consumers through their website, lifesupply.ca, and through phone consultation and ordering at 855-755-5433.

In each and every instance, LifeSupply’s experienced salespeople can help customers, whether they are aging or living with short- or long-term disabilities, decide on what products will best suit them.

“We directly engage with consumers, end-users, health-care workers and patients,” Hastibakhsh says.

The company carries everything from baby and child care products to monitors and health tests to medical alarms to equipment like stethoscopes. LifeSupply also carries a full range of assistive living products and safety mobility devices like transfer benches, security poles and bed rails. Among its more popular products is the Stander Security Curve and Grab Bar. The bar aids users in getting in and out of bathtubs, or getting up from a seated position anywhere in the home.

“It basically prevents falls,” Hastibakhsh says.

As we age, preventing falls — which could lead to long hospital stays — becomes a key element in staying healthy and living well. Research by the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S. shows that home modifications and repairs may prevent 30 to 50 per cent of all home accidents among seniors.

Many of the bathroom and home safety equipment items, like the Grab Bar, are easy to install. But

LifeSupply staff are eager to help when help is needed.

“For more complicated installations, we have the right technician or we can make a referral to install

the products at the minimum cost,” Hastibakhsh says.

“We also have some of the lowest prices when it comes to home medical equipment. If you compare apples to apples, you’ll see some of our prices are fantastic. We understand that price is always an issue.”

LifeSupply also carries a wide selection of canes and mobility equipment. “Sometimes people are very mobile but they might lose their driver’s license because of their advance age,” Hastibakhsh says. The LifeSupply staff can help with selecting the right walker, or an item like a combination transport chair and walker.

No one likes to admit to aging, or that they need more help than they did previously. During this transition period, overcoming vanity can be key to preventing injury.

“A lot of falls happen during the transition period,” Hastibakhsh says. “When people go through the transition period, they need to prepare themselves, and to purchase the right equipment, whether bed rails, or the right walker. The right products can help people make the transition as they learn to live with the aspects of aging.”

Using this equipment doesn’t mean someone is completely dysfunctional. But its use can make independent living easier and more comfortable.

LifeSupply offers a large selection of home medical equipment, including powered and manual wheelchairs, mobility scooters, hospital beds, stair lifts, mastectomy supplies, walkers, bath and toilet safety, patient lifts, canes, crutches, incontinency supplies, etc.

Transforming the Shopping Experience with Convenient Access to Brand Name Home Medical Equipment at Lowest Prices

Vancouver, BC, August 20, 2012 - Caring for elderly loved ones can be difficult and expensive at times. Recognizing various challenges facing caregivers, LifeSupply opened its doors in March 2012 with the vision to offer the convenience of shopping combined with the lowest prices on home medical equipment through multiple channels. Through innovation, LifeSupply is gradually becoming a household name among occupational therapists, physiotherapists, professional care givers, seniors, and the general public.

While Canadians are living longer than in any other time in our history, primary caregivers often carry the heavy burdens of communicating with the elderly, addressing their health needs, and paying for expensive home medical equipment. For the aging population, it is often difficult to transition into a new stage of life and to give up independence. And here comes LifeSupply with a sense of purpose and commitment to easing the burdens on caregivers, and empowering seniors to continue their independent and comfortable lifestyle!

LifeSupply offers medical professionals, caregivers, seniors and individuals with short and long term physical disabilities convenient access to home medical equipment at the lowest prices through multiple sales channels, including its online catalogue and e-commerce site (lifesupply.com), bricks and mortar boutique style showroom, and the 1-800 phone number. The ‘Customer is King’ mantra holds true, as LifeSupply caters to a wide range of demographic groups, including technology savvy customers and traditional shoppers with a preference for in-store buying experience. The company frequently offers special discounts in addition to everyday low prices to ensure customers’ satisfaction.

“Happy customers are LifeSupply’s main ambassadors, as they often tell the tales of their pleasant shopping experience and savings to occupational therapists, physiotherapists and friends in the community”, said Behshad Hastibakhsh, VP of Business Development at LifeSupply. “LifeSupply is a valuable brand which represents the convergence of convenience and the lowest prices on brand name products.”

LifeSupply has stepped beyond traditional spheres of product offerings in the retail environment, and added other services such as financing to sales, rentals and rent-to-own programs. The company has also partnered with community based home care and support service providers, such as Daughter For A Day, to raise awareness on the availability of access to affordable home medical equipment. Affordability is a key factor for many caregivers. Hence, LifeSupply has joined forces with Veterans Affairs Canada, WorkSafeBC, and third party insurance companies, such as Pacific Blue Cross, to provide financial relief.

East Hasting has a new lifeline store on the block. LifeSupply is a Diversified Medical Equipment Store (DMES), which had its grand opening on March 1. The store’s experienced staff offers innovative services and products to help their community and beyond.

LifeSupply’s owners began by seeing the growing need for home medical equipment at a low cost and with affordable access. This idea soon turned into a reality and LifeSupply was born. The supplier offers sales and rentals on home and professional equipment such as walkers, wheelchairs, hospital beds and scooters.

A unique aspect to the store is their type clientele, which includes individual patients and their families, as well as professionals in the medical industry. Behshad Hastibakhsh of LifeSupply boasts that, “we have inquiries and interactions with medical professionals, dental offices, chiropractors and more.”

For added value, LifeSupply offers 24/seven access to home medical equipment, accessible via the website. If a client is interested in the payment plan, where the purchase must be over $1,000, it can be paid back over a 72 month period.

Hastibakhsh says LifeSupply offers incredibly competitive prices, ranging from $200 to $300 less than some others in the marketplace. ”Some items are even up to 50 per cent less than other suppliers,” he says. “With this, we have certainly achieved our goal of creating a store with affordability for seniors and others on a fixed income.”

The store frequently has customers inquiring after just walking by and seeing the Grand Opening sign. Of course local business is the tip of the iceberg, as Hastibakhsh states that they welcome a wide range of international customers, from Singapore to the United Kingdom.

LifeSupply offers hands on customer service and great expertise on the subject of DMES, and, says Hastibakhsh, “we are very excited to be welcomed into the East Hastings neighborhood.”
