Mobility Plus Enriches Lives of Seniors and the Disabled
Recently, Scott Vineyard, and his wife, Lara, opened up Arizona’s first Mobility Plus store right here in North Scottsdale. Mobility Plus is a nationwide franchise that has been providing mobility solutions for aging Americans, the disabled and veterans for more than 10 years. Their industry-leading products include scooters, power wheelchairs, ramps, lift chairs, stair lifts, pool lifts, vehicle lifts, pool therapy equipment and fall prevention products. “I was drawn to this industry because I wanted to have a positive impact on the lives of others and find ways to improve the customers’ buying experience,” says Scott. “Educating our customers about the products and solutions available is an integral part of our business.”
Using Mobility Plus equipment enables many individuals to safely access and enjoy all the comforts of their home. These life-enhancing solutions also provide peace of mind for their caregivers. With a wide range of scooters, power wheelchairs, lifts and ramps readily available in their store, the Vineyards encourage customers to test drive them to ensure they are the perfect fit for their needs — whether they have an illness, injury or age-related health issue. What sets apart Mobility Plus from other companies in the industry is their turnkey offering, which includes sales, installation, service and rental of their equipment. Scott and Lara know firsthand the struggles of trying to care for loved ones who are mobility-impaired. “Having taken care of my grandfather through his dialysis and my father through Alzheimer’s, I understand how frustrating and difficult it is for families going through these challenges,” says Lara. As coowners of the store, the husband-wife team ensures that every customer receives the highest level of service and is properly fitted to their equipment. Scott and Lara’s goal is to provide customers with consistent, reliable products and service that are available throughout the state of Arizona. Their team of franchisees are in the process of opening additional stores this year with hopes for 15 to 20 more Arizona franchises in the future. Mobility Plus has a nationwide contract with the VA and is proud to provide medical equipment solutions for America’s disabled veterans.
Mobility Plus is located at 15525 N. 83rd Way, B1, and hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. For more information, visit mobilityplus.com.
