Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Supplies

Professional Home Health Care Services in Aurora, Colorado

What is Durable Medical Equipment (DME)?

Durable Medical Equipment (DME) refers to long-term medical equipment prescribed by a physician for repeated use in the home. DME helps individuals manage illness, injury, or disability while improving quality of life and maintaining independence. To qualify as DME, equipment must be durable (able to withstand repeated use), serve a medical purpose, and not be useful to someone without a medical condition.

At Little’s Loving Home Services, we provide access to quality DME supplies and assist clients in obtaining the equipment they need through Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance coverage.
