Parkinson’s Association Offers Free Mobility Devices

November 5, 2024
Chris Buscher, Executive Director, Parkinson’s Association of San Diego

For many years the Parkinson's Association of San Diego has offered free mobility devices – walkers, rollators, wheelchairs, canes, and much more – to people in San Diego County impacted by Parkinson's. This donated equipment is generally lightly used, although some is new.

Recently, management of the program was taken over by Harmony Home Medical and we now have an online catalog of the equipment. You can see the catalog on our website and, if you need something, you can request it for free.

The catalog is set up like an online store however, everything is priced at $0. So you will "buy" the item but there is no cost and you do not have to enter a credit card.

After you reserve your mobility device, you will be contacted by Harmony Home Medical to schedule a pickup at their store. They can also arrange delivery for a small fee.

If you have lightly used or new mobility devices you would like to donate, you can drop them off at Harmony Home Medical, 7640 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92111 or call them at 858-560-8177.
