Bayshore Home Health and Motion Specialties partner to promote myNurse

Mississauga, Ont., April 5, 2010 –Motion Specialties customers who purchase myNurse services from Bayshore Home Health are now receiving rebates of up to $100 on products including wheelchairs, scooters, walkers and more.
 
myNurse is a new service that lets people arrange monthly or quarterly home visits by a registered nurse who provides regular health assessments, monitoring and education. The service is a way to prolong independent living amongst seniors. It can also be used by people of all ages who have health conditions that must be closely monitored, mobility issues which make it difficult to visit their family doctor, or who are among the more than four million Canadians without a family doctor.

Motion Specialties is a Canadian company that provides a wide range of customized solutions for people with mobility requirements. It provides free in-home assessments, equipment to try at home and around-the-clock on-call service.

“Motion Specialties is a good fit for myNurse clients because many of them face challenges related to mobility,” says Vivian Iliescu, business development manager for Bayshore Home Health. “Plus, Motion Specialties customers want to maintain their independence in their own homes, especially when it comes to health care.”

 “We’re committed to improving the lives of everyone with mobility needs,” adds David Fraser, president of Motion Specialties. “As part of this commitment, we’re always looking for ways to offer our customers additional services that meet all of their home health care needs.”

Participating Motion Specialties stores include locations in Ottawa, Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton, London, Kitchener, St. Catharines, Oshawa and Barrie.
