For many patients, the hardest part of getting a brace or prosthesis isn’t the device. It’s getting to the appointment. Limited mobility, recovery after surgery, lack of reliable transportation, or living in a care facility can turn a simple fitting into a major undertaking. At Unified Medical Equipment Solutions (UMES), we believe quality care shouldn’t depend on how easily you can travel. That’s why we bring our orthotic services and prosthetic solutions directly to patients across Arkansas, including our communities in Jacksonville, Jonesboro, Bentonville and Newport.
Meeting Patients Where They Are
Every patient’s story is different. Some can easily visit one of our locations, while others are recovering at home, living in assisted living, or staying in a skilled nursing or rehabilitation facility. Rather than asking patients to adapt to us, we adapt to them.
Our team offers in-home and care facility visits so patients can be evaluated, fitted, and followed up with in a familiar, comfortable setting. This approach reduces stress, saves time, and removes a barrier that too often keeps people from the care they need.
What Our Home and Facility Visits Include
A visit from UMES is more than a delivery. Our clinicians come prepared to provide the same thoughtful care you would receive in our office, including:
- Evaluations and measurements to understand each patient’s mobility needs and goals
- Custom fittings for orthotic braces and prosthetic devices
- Adjustments and follow-up care to make sure devices stay comfortable and effective over time
- Patient and caregiver education on proper use, wear schedules, and care of the device
Because we see patients in their everyday environment, we can also better understand the real-world challenges they face, like navigating stairs, moving between rooms, or getting in and out of bed. That insight helps us recommend solutions that truly fit their lives.
Partnering With Care Facilities
We work closely with nursing homes, assisted living communities, and rehabilitation centers to coordinate care for their residents. Facility staff have a single, reliable point of contact, and residents receive timely fittings without the disruption of off-site trips. Clear communication with nurses, therapists, and physicians keeps everyone aligned on each resident’s progress.
