Your Source for Mobility-Related Medical Equipment Rentals in the Upper Peninsula

A gray and orange mobility scooter on a white background.Change is inevitable, but that doesn’t automatically mean it’s permanent. Yes, as we get older and our mobility evolves, it often becomes necessary to make renovations that will allow us to age in place in the comfort and security of our own homes. But while some of these modifications will be permanent, others may only be needed for a limited time. For people in this situation, the most sensible option is to rent medical equipment rather than purchase it. But who can you turn to for premium products and services? Going directly to the manufacturer isn’t feasible for items that have to be installed professionally. And what if something needs servicing? You’ll want a local company that’s able to respond promptly when you reach out to them, and ideally, one that focuses exclusively on aging-in-place products rather than a wholesaler who may not have an in-depth understanding of the unique needs of seniors. Thankfully, for homeowners in the Upper Peninsula, there’s one company that meets all of these requirements: the Barrier Free Store.

Popular Rental Options

As a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) headquartered in Marquette, MI, we are the Upper Peninsula’s mobility and accessibility experts. The Barrier Free Store can provide month-to-month rentals on a wide range of medical equipment including:

  • Wheelchair ramps – Are you a summer resident who needs a temporary means of accessing the front door of your home-away-from-home? We can custom build a ramp that provides easy accessibility and then disassemble it when you’re ready to go, leaving no damage to the property.
  • Powerlift recliner chairs – These motorized lift chairs rise and settle with just the touch of a button, allowing access and exit from a standing position. They’re perfect for someone recovering from recent surgery or an injury who needs a little extra help until they’re feeling better.
  • Power wheelchairs and scooters – Visiting the Upper Peninsula for just a week or two? We offer a wide variety of perfectly maintained power wheelchairs and scooters that will make getting around a cinch.

We also rent knee scooters, standard wheelchairs, and portable lifts. And if you want to make your temporary arrangement a long-term commitment, we also sell and install all of these items and many more.

Don’t settle for “making the best” of an inconvenience just because it’s momentary. Reach out to the Barrier Free Store today to learn more about our medical equipment rental options. We’ll make sure you have what you need to continue living life to the fullest.

“My dad’s strength deteriorated over a short period of time due to medicines he needed to take. Your company provided prompt service. We most appreciated the person who had the foresight to have a stair lift in stock because my dad basically needed an emergency installation for his safety and mine, so we could safely get upstairs. Thank you to everyone for your kindness and quick assistance at a difficult time. My dad loves the lift!”
