Supporting independence: Golden Gate Medical Supplies for seniors’ daily needs
Nov 01, 2024 01:56PM ● By G. L. YenneWhen mobility or medical concerns wreak havoc on day-to-day activities, something needs to give—but not at the expense of seniors’ independence or abilities.
Since 2021, Golden Gate Medical Supplies has been helping those with physical limitations regain control. With its leaders’ 35 years of combined experience in the medical industry, their mission is clear: providing affordable, high-quality medical supplies to all who need them.
Golden Gate Medical Supplies offers a wide range of products, including:
- Mobility equipment: wheelchairs, walkers and knee scooters
- Home care supplies: hospital beds, lift chairs and bathroom safety aids
- Orthopedic support: braces, supports and compression garments
- Daily living aids: tools and devices for dressing, eating and bathing
- Incontinence supplies: from adult briefs to underpads
The company offers free delivery. Golden Gate Pueblo delivers as far as an eight-hour workday allows. If a location is farther away than that, they can ship products or equipment directly.
FRIENDLY SERVICE
District manager Zach Thallus enjoys engaging with the public and sharing useful information.
“I can see the eyes of people light up as we talk of helping with specific needs,” said Thallus, who shared about a couple who stopped by in search of a green rollator (a walker with wheels) for the wife.
“As we helped them find the right fit, we could see how much this piece of equipment was going to make a big difference in their daily lives,” Thallus recalled.
A few days later, the couple returned to purchase the same type of rollator, except in blue.
“They could’ve gone to another medical supply store, but they came back because we treated them like family,” said Thallus. “It wasn’t just about the product; it was the care and understanding we showed them that made all the difference.”
GOLDEN GATE GIVES BACK
Golden Gate Medical Supplies is involved in the community, regularly partnering with local senior organizations, sponsoring children’s sports teams and groups like CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children).
“Knowing that as a company we are making an impact on our community is important to us,” Thallus said.
But giving back to individuals is just as important.
“It’s a rewarding experience to know that the equipment we provide isn’t just another product—it’s a tool that can genuinely improve someone’s quality of life,” Thallus said.
The company cares about their customers’ ability to manage day-to-day basics.
“You can’t get much more personal than providing someone with a bed that eases their strain and offers relief from health challenges,” Thallus said.
