Black Hawk Center Assistive Devices & Equipment Loan Service
What is it?
The Equipment Loan Service is a service for people with disabilities and CIL consumers and a depository of used assistive devices and adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs (both power and manual chairs), walkers, crutches, shower chairs, hospital beds... etc. that the Center has in stock to send out on loan to those who make a request for an item.
All items in stock are donated by people in the community. If the CIL does not have an item it has yet to be donated. We would refer a consumer to the Used Equipment Referral Service (UERS) through Iowa Compass.
Who?
People with disabilities and Black Hawk CIL consumers can use this service.
Where?
This service is operated out of the CIL office.
