To whom it might worry; 12-10
Lately I'd to consider my Invacare power wheelchair into Nationwide Sitting and Flexibility for repairs. I can't convey firmly enough my discomfort with Invacare power wheelchairs. This really is my next Invacare power wheelchair and every one of the very first two had numerous issues which required support. How Invacare may charge $27,000 bucks for these poor items is significantly beyond my understanding. It's my perception the MedicareMedicade Management must examine the chance of not buying this manufacturer wheelchair later on. It appears to be always a total waste of taxpayer cash for these seats then your follow-up repairs. It’s nothing like seats get countless kilometers in it.
Subsequently to add insult to damage, It required Nationwide Sitting and Flexibility 10 times before they might actually take a look at my seat for repairs. Lastly after fixing my seat, they stated the chair required stronger batteries which it'd get roughly thirty days before this could be authorized by Medicare. It’s my own opinion that businesses like Nationwide Sitting and Flexibility, whose company is principally coping with the handicapped, possess a obligation (fairly or simply like a great company training) to help their clients around can be done.in my opinion that anything as easy as lending two batteries within the meantime might have been a temporary treatment for the issue. Although not to become till I recommended it. And you know what? I had been informed they couldn’t set the batteries set for another 4 times. Significantly less than one minute work (at this time I'd been without having a seat for 17 days) delay another 4 days.incredible. Easily handled my clients such as this in my own business, I'd quickly be out-of business, but I don’t possess a captive clients foundation. Like a quadriplegic, I have to trim in my seat every 2 hoursapproximately to alleviate stress on my bottom to assist avoid pressure sores. With no operating seat that’s difficult. The choice is remaining in sleep 24/7. Clearly, that beats the goal of having an electrical seat. Once they did deploy the batteries in under half an hour, they charged MedicareMedicade $300.00 for that installation. That arrives to $600 bucks an hour or so, $10 each minute. And we speculate why Medicare has economic issues.
And finally, when calling Nationwide Sitting and Flexibility, and detailing my ideas towards the assistant on which in my opinion might be completed, I had been charged of shouting at her and managing her poorly. First, I informed her I had been referring to the organization she performs for, not her individually. Next, she charged me of shouting at her. I don’t understand what she views shouting, but my MS hasn't permitted me to shout in more than 10 years. This woman must create her people-skills for that work she's. After I approached her chef, Flower (a pleasant woman) who spoke towards the assistant, the receptionist lied to her, switching everything around saying I had been promising at her. So here I'm, I place in a and today I’m created out to become to blame. That the method to manage a criticism. I suppose, the very best protection is a great ofense. I take a look at all of this as more of Nationwide Sitting and Mobility” indifference, uncaring attitude towards their handicapped clients while guarding their very own people, correct or incorrect.
Whilst in The procedure for composing this, my buddy, was Googling the tackle for Nationwide Sitting and Flexibility and discovered this region with numerous grievances about Nationwide Sitting and Flexibility. And also to no real surprise, another person published in regards to a much the same seat scenario using the assistant stating the same point she explained about shouting. He also was quit waiting more than 2 months, it was last year. Whoa! Again displaying NS&M indifference, uncaring attitude.
Can’t somebody or company make a move to safeguard wheelchair limited people from these uncaring businesses that not just mistreat the handicapped with lengthy delays, but spend Medicare/Medicare towards the melody of multi-millions of bucks with poor sub-quality items and crazy solutions costs.
