QUESTION:
Is there any organization that helps with the cost of equipment needed for healing bedsores and relieving pressure from the sores?
ANSWER:
Yes, there is ADP (Assistive Devices Program) funding available for wheelchair or pressure-relieving surfaces for individuals with pressure ulcers. To access this funding, you will need a referral to a Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist, who can complete the necessary paperwork for ADP funding of these surfaces.
