IVCIL offers loans of medical equipment

LA SALLE – Have a temporary need for a wheelchair, walker, cane or other equipment? The Illinois Valley Center for Independent Living in LaSalle may be able to help with their Equipment Loan Closet.

There is no cost for area residents to borrow this equipment from IVCIL, however, some items with a value over $100 require a $100 cash security deposit. The deposit will be reimbursed upon return if equipment does not show damage and/or wear and tear but it must be brought in periodically to be inspected by IVCIL staff. Some equipment can be loaned only for a specified time period, which will be determined at the time of the loan.

The community is welcome to call IVCIL for more information about borrowing equipment free of charge. Please call (815) 224-3126 (V or TTY) Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. to inquire if the equipment you need is available.

To assist IVCIL with this program, donations of used equipment that is clean and useable such as walkers, canes, commodes and wheelchairs are appreciated.

IVCIL, located at 18 Gunia Drive, LaSalle, is a non-profit agency that assists people with disabilities to live independently in the communities of Bureau, LaSalle, Marshall, Putnam and Stark counties.
