Angel Care Medical
Angel Care prides itself on partnering with key manufacturers, like Broda who have quality products. “It’s really all about our products and service first…Typically, what you’ll see in Hospice and long-term care, it’s the cheapest product you can get just so the facility generates more revenue. But that also can have a negative impact on their quality outcomes so, at Angel Care, we try to always offer higher quality products and service that provides facilities with better outcomes for those facilities and our community over the long term.”
A Full-Circle Career with Broda
Brian Peacock is a certified Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) who now serves as a Broda Sales Development Representative in Texas. In his former roles, Brian has successfully used the Encore Rehab wheelchair for his clients and seen phenomenal results. With its comfortable design and easy-to-use customizations, Brian has seen many people regain their independence and quality of life.
Proud to Provide Essential Comfort
“Most people need [Broda] products at a time in their lives that is not the easiest or most comfortable. Our extensive line of in-demand, cost-effective wheelchairs deliver massive benefits to users across the long-term and complex care spectrum. We go above and beyond for our customers, to improve all aspects of their lives. We’re proud to provide essential comfort and enhanced quality of life to those we’re honored to serve.”
Increasing Quality of Life at School
I work with a young man named Mason. Mason is 19 years old and has had his Broda chair for approximately two and a half years. The Broda chair is what I would consider as life-changing for him. It has been a positive and significant influence in Mason’s quality of life here at school.
Getting Out of Bed with a TBI
“My son has had a Broda chair for the past 8 years. He was 23 years old when he acquired his [Traumatic Brain Injury] from a motorcycle accident. The Broda chair has allowed him to be up out of bed on a daily basis. If not for his Broda, he wouldn’t be able to get out of bed because he has no truck control and cannot sit in other chairs for any extended periods.”
Easy to Use & Durable
We have two Broda chairs- one for a resident with Huntington’s Disease, and one for a resident with Parkinson’s Disease. The Huntington’s resident is severely spastic with uncontrolled movements. We have tried multiple chairs with lap restraints and lap belts with no avail. The resident had severe, injurious falls and has had no falls since the Broda placement. The chair for the Parkinson’s resident is used for comfort and he has had no discomfort since using the Broda chair. The staff really likes the Broda chairs. They are easy to use, adjust, roll, etc. They are excellent, durable chairs and we are very satisfied.
Solving the Unsolvable
Our facility had a gentleman with severe contractures in his legs and he had not been out of bed for a very long time. We tried various other seating options with no success. Finally, as a last resort, our Rehab Manager suggested we call Broda. After discussing his needs, we arranged a trial of an Elite Positioning Wheelchair for this resident. For the first time in a very long time, the resident was able to be out of bed, comfortable, and social again. We want to thank Broda for solving an issue that we thought was unsolvable.
Comfort for a Veteran & His Family
At the age of 82, my father had advanced Parkinson’s and dementia. His power wheel chair was taken away for safety concerns. In a fortunate twist of fate, he qualified for the VA to fund a Broda wheelchair. This wheelchair has improved his quality of life and I can’t imagine him not being in it over the past few years. We are fortunate that the VA will fund Broda chairs for veterans like him who need them.
It’s the Only Thing That Works
After seeing the demo and trying out the Revive Shower Commode, we decided that this chair was the best on the market. Other commode/shower chairs are typically not as strong as the Revive. The durability of a chair is an important buying factor for hospitals and nursing homes with small budgets in terms of longevity. We’ve had problems finding shower chairs that will support the weight of some of our patients. We were impressed with the swing-away arms and the maneuverability of the caster wheels. It’s the only commode/shower chair that we have really seen work and we are now big fans of Broda.
