The Ludington Area Senior Center operates a medical-equipment loan closet and explicitly welcomes donations of surplus devices. Items used by the program include walkers, wheelchairs, canes, crutches, shower and transfer benches, grabbers, bed rails, toilet-seat risers, commodes, incontinence supplies and other adaptive equipment. This gives executors a local reuse option for suitable durable medical goods from an estate.

Storage is limited, and the Senior Center specifically asks donors to call before bringing durable medical equipment. Equipment should be appropriate for safe reuse, and inventory needs change as items are borrowed and returned. Save a trip! Call Ludington Area Senior Center Medical Equipment Loan Closet first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
