Home Medical Equipment, Repairs & Installations in Southwest Florida — Medical Department Store
Most medical equipment stores will sell you a scooter, a lift chair, or a hospital bed. When it breaks, needs service, or needs to be installed in your vehicle or home — they hand you a manufacturer phone number and wish you luck. We don't do that. Medical Department Store sells, delivers, installs, and repairs home medical equipment across Southwest Florida. One call. One team. We handle all of it.
We have been serving Venice, Sarasota, Port Charlotte, Fort Myers, and Naples for over 25 years — with five showrooms, certified staff, respiratory therapists, RESNA-credentialed mobility specialists, and a repair and installation team that makes house calls. If it moves, lifts, or helps someone live more independently, we can sell it, fix it, and come to you.
📞 866-218-0902 — Monday–Friday. Or walk into any of our five showrooms.

We Repair Mobility Equipment — Any Brand, Any Age
A broken power scooter or lift chair is not just an inconvenience — for many people it is their primary means of getting around their home or leaving the house. We understand that. Our repair team services mobility and medical equipment regardless of where it was purchased or what brand it is. If you bought it somewhere else, brought it from up north, or inherited it — we will still fix it.
We repair:
- Power scooters — battery issues, motor problems, joystick failures, charger faults, flat tires, control board replacements
- Power wheelchairs & electric wheelchairs — drive motor failures, controller issues, seating adjustments, battery pack replacement, joystick calibration
- Manual wheelchairs — wheel and tire replacement, brake adjustments, footrest and armrest repairs, frame fixes
- Rollators & walkers — brake cable replacement, wheel swaps, handle height adjustment, folding mechanism repairs
- Lift chairs — motor and actuator replacement, hand control issues, wiring repairs, frame and mechanism service
- Patient lifts — actuator service, battery replacement, sling bar repairs, base and caster replacement
- Hospital beds — motor and actuator replacement, remote control issues, side rail repairs, frame service
We make house calls. If your equipment is too heavy or difficult to transport, call us — our technicians can come to your home across Southwest Florida for repairs that cannot easily be brought in to a showroom.
📞 Call your nearest location or 866-218-0902 to describe the problem and schedule a repair.
Harmar Vehicle Lifts & Home Access Lifts — Sales, Installation & Service
We are an authorized Harmar dealer and installer — and Harmar happens to be headquartered right here in Sarasota, Florida. If you need a lift to get your scooter or power wheelchair in and out of your vehicle, or a stairlift, vertical platform lift, or residential elevator for your home, we sell, install, and service the full Harmar product line.
Vehicle Lifts for Scooters & Power Wheelchairs
Loading a 250 lb power scooter into an SUV or minivan by yourself is not realistic — and it is a serious injury risk for caregivers. Harmar hitch-mounted vehicle lifts solve this completely. Drive the scooter onto the platform, press a button, and it raises and secures automatically. Compatible with most SUVs, minivans, trucks, and sedans.
- Hitch-mounted platform lifts for three and four-wheel scooters up to 400 lb
- Power wheelchair vehicle lifts — inside hoist and outside platform styles
- Manual wheelchair carriers for sedans and SUVs
- Inside hoist lifts for trunk and cargo area installation
Home Access Lifts — Stairlifts, Platform Lifts & More
For SW Florida homes with interior stairs, pool access stairs, or garage steps that have become a barrier — Harmar stairlifts and vertical platform lifts restore full access without a home renovation.
- Straight stairlifts — for standard straight staircases, indoors or outdoors
- Curved stairlifts — custom fitted to staircases with turns or landings
- Vertical platform lifts — for decks, porches, pool areas, and garage steps
- Residential elevators — full home elevator solutions through Harmar's Pollock line
- Ramps — threshold ramps, portable folding ramps, and modular ramp systems
We handle the full installation — site assessment, professional installation, and ongoing service. Call 866-218-0902 to schedule a home assessment.

Delivery, Setup & Home Service — We Come to You
We deliver and set up hospital beds, lift chairs, patient lifts, and power wheelchairs across Southwest Florida. For families managing a loved one's transition home from a hospital or rehab facility, our team assembles the equipment and walks you through operation before leaving — so no one is alone with a box of parts at the end of a stressful day.
Our technicians also make house calls for repairs on equipment that is too large or difficult to transport. One call handles everything.
A Word About Hurricane Season
For SW Florida residents who depend on powered medical equipment — oxygen concentrators, power wheelchairs, CPAP machines, patient lifts — storm preparation is not optional. Our team can help you identify battery backup options, evaluate portable alternatives to equipment that does not evacuate well, and make sure you are not making emergency equipment decisions 24 hours before a storm makes landfall.
Call any of our locations before hurricane season to have that conversation. It is a lot easier in May than it is in September.
