CARIB REHAB WINS INTERNATIONAL AWARD

December 14, 2004

Invacare Corporation, United States’ largest manufacture of Homecare Equipment, recently announced the winners of their “Yes, You Can” Growth Awards, at the International Division’s Awards Dinner in Orlando, during the industry’s MedTrade Exposition. Barbados’ CARIB REHAB LIMITED is the proud winner of the Growth Award for Latin America and South America. The company was presented with a handsome crystal trophy by Eric Fuentes, Invacare’s International Business Manager, and Stephen Neese, Invacare’s Vice President of Customer Services and eBusiness.

In their Fifteenth Anniversary Year, Carib Rehab is especially pleased to be the recipient of this prestigious international award. Managing Director, Hilary Bethell, credits winning the award to the dedicated perseverance of the company’s loyal staff of nine, who put service and customer satisfaction as their highest priority. From the moment customers enter the showroom at Friendship, until they leave with their specially selected items, they are greeted personally, advised and guided by caring, knowledgeable personnel.

“Our products are not things the average person knows much about”, says Patrick Bethell, Director of Technical Services, “but when you need something like a commode (night chair) you need assistance in selecting the right one to suit the special needs of your ailing friend or relative - standard, extra-wide, drop-arm or mobile commode? Depending on your abilities only one of these will be right for you.” The same attention to fit is especially important selecting wheelchairs and walking aids.

Professional advice is available for all Carib Rehab’s comprehensive range of more than 2500 home care and personal care products for Sports Medicine and Exercise; Bathroom Safety; Incontinence Care; Women’s Health; Support Hose; Respiratory and Home Health Monitoring; Diabetic Foot Care; and many more health-related items.

Carib Rehab’s industry-trained staff provide specialized after-care service and parts for larger products. Staff participate in regular continuing in-service education to be learn about new products, how they work and the benefits available to their customers. The firm also has a strong commitment to the aging and differently-able in our community and offers discounts to BARP members and members in registered medically-related groups.

Like their motto says, “From hospital to home, we aim to keep you able,” and that’s what they do best at Carib Rehab Limited, celebrating 15 Years of Service.
