If you live in Homestead and need a wheelchair, walker, or other home medical equipment on a short-term basis, renting is often the smartest option — especially for post-surgical recovery, temporary injury, or a visiting family member who needs mobility support.

JME Home Medical Equipment in Coral Gables offers medical equipment rentals with same-day pickup, serving Homestead and all of Miami-Dade County.

How Far Is Homestead from JME Home Medical?

Our store is located at 1823 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Coral Gables, FL 33134 — approximately 30–35 miles north of Homestead, typically a 35–45 minute drive via the Florida Turnpike (SR-821). We're open Monday through Friday, 10am to 4pm.

What Equipment Can I Rent?

We offer rentals on a range of home medical equipment, including:

• Manual wheelchairs — standard and transport chairs for short-term use
• Rollators and walkers — ideal for post-surgical recovery or balance support
• Shower chairs and bath benches — for safe bathing during recovery
• Raised toilet seats — essential after hip or knee replacement surgery
• Knee scooters — a popular alternative to crutches for foot and ankle injuries

When Does Renting Make More Sense Than Buying?

Renting is typically the better choice when:

• Recovery is short-term — if you need a wheelchair for 2–8 weeks after surgery, renting is far more cost-effective than buying
• You're not sure what you need — renting lets you try a piece of equipment before committing to a purchase
• A family member is visiting — if an elderly relative is staying with you temporarily and needs mobility support
• Insurance won't cover purchase — some insurance plans cover rentals but not outright purchases for certain equipment

If you need equipment long-term (6+ months), buying is usually more economical. Our team can help you decide which option makes sense for your situation.

Beyond rentals, Homestead residents can shop our full catalog of home medical supplies — including incontinence supplies, wound care, bathroom safety, compression garments, and more.

Does Medicare Cover Equipment Rentals?

Medicare Part B covers certain durable medical equipment rentals when prescribed by a physician. Coverage typically applies to:

• Manual wheelchairs (when medically necessary)
• Hospital beds
• Oxygen equipment
• CPAP machines

Coverage for walkers, shower chairs, and similar items varies. Call us at (305) 529-9976 and we'll help you understand what Medicare covers for your specific situation.
