What Access Ability does

AccessAbility Home Medical Products is a privately held home medical equipment retailer founded in 1994 and headquartered in Cudahy, Wisconsin, operating as part of the Access Family of Companies owned by founder Jon Tevz. The company sells and rents mobility and accessibility equipment including lift chairs, stairlifts, powered and manual wheelchairs, mobility scooters, hospital beds, ceiling and patient lifts, bariatric products, bathroom safety items, and ramps, sourced from third-party manufacturers such as Bruno (exclusive stairlift dealer), Golden Technologies, Pride Mobility, and SureHands. Distribution is sales-led through four to five retail showrooms across Wisconsin (Cudahy, Glendale, Neenah, La Crosse, and Appleton), supplemented by free in-home consultations, toll-free phone ordering, free delivery, and a website (hmestore.net) with location-specific SEO landing pages.

The company serves individual consumers rather than enterprise accounts, with primary customer segments being seniors needing mobility assistance, post-surgery recovery patients requiring temporary rentals, bariatric patients needing heavy-duty equipment, individuals with permanent disabilities requiring long-term home modifications, and U.S. military veterans accessing special benefits through the Access Mobility Vans sister business. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time equipment purchases, with secondary streams from equipment rentals and pre-owned equipment sales; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Differentiators include NRRTS and RESNA certifications, Medicare licensure, exclusive Bruno stairlift dealership, over 40 vendor relationships, and more than 100 years of combined staff experience. The company operates as a multi-brand reseller with no proprietary technology and no AI/ML capabilities, relying on certified specialists and consultative selling to match customers with equipment from established manufacturers.
