We have two Alberta showrooms. Calgary: 3651 19 ST NE, Calgary, AB T2E 6S8, serving the AHS Calgary Zone. Red Deer: Unit 3 - 6721 67 Avenue, Red Deer, AB T4P 1K3, serving the AHS Central Zone. Both have free on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible entrances, and welcome walk-ins Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4:30 PM.

Question 3

Do you offer compression stocking fittings in Calgary?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have a certified compression fitter on staff and carry Sigvaris, Jobst, Mediven, Juzo, and Therafirm in ready-to-wear and custom sizes. We direct-bill most extended insurance providers (Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife) and accept AHS coverage for qualifying lymphedema patients.

Question 4

Does Western Health Care install stairlifts in Calgary?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we install straight stairlifts (often in a single day), custom curved stairlifts, and indoor / outdoor vertical platform lifts (VPLs). Every install begins with a free in-home assessment, and we service every lift we sell. Short-term stairlift rentals are also available for post-surgery recovery.

Question 5

Can I rent a hospital bed in Calgary?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We rent both electric and manual hospital beds with pressure-relief mattresses by the week or month, delivered, set up, and picked up anywhere in Calgary. Most rentals can be arranged the same week — call 403-300-2244 to reserve.

Question 6

Do you offer a free in-home assessment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our home accessibility specialist visits your home anywhere in Calgary, identifies fall hazards, measures stairs and doorways, and gives you a written, prioritized plan. The assessment is completely free with no obligation to purchase.

Question 7

Do you work with AADL, RAMP, SHARP, AHS, or insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We help Alberta families navigate AADL, RAMP, SHARP, WCB Alberta, AHS, Veterans Affairs Canada, and NIHB, plus federal accessibility and medical expense tax credits. We prepare the paperwork at no charge; eligibility and final approval are determined by each funding organization.

We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and closed Saturdays and Sundays. For urgent equipment needs outside these hours, leave a voicemail at 403-300-2244 and we'll get back to you the next business day.
