Your Trusted Source for Home Medical Equipment & Supplies
Independence HomeHealthWares was founded in 1999 to serve the home medical equipment and incontinence needs of Rhode Island and surrounding communities. Recognized for outstanding service and quality products, we became a trusted resource for clinicians and facilities. In 2018, Todd Ackerman acquired the company, bringing hands-on leadership and operational expertise. Our 2023 acquisition of Foley Medical Supply expanded our reach to South Yarmouth, MA, where we now offer mastectomy and compression products alongside traditional home medical equipment. Our team of certified professionals delivers personalized solutions, including mobility aids, bath safety products, and incontinence supplies, ensuring clients receive tailored support.With decades of combined experience, we prioritize customer education, product demonstrations, and installation services. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our partnerships with respected manufacturers and our trained technicians who ensure proper setup and usage. We maintain transparent communication, competitive pricing, and flexible rental options to meet diverse healthcare needs. Our dedication to client comfort and independence is evident in every interaction, from product selection to post-purchase support.
