(Newswire.net — July 15, 2013) Nassau County, NY — The aging senior population in Nassau County, New York wants to maintain a better quality of life with their children looking after them, themselves aging as “Baby Boomers”.    Many of these seniors are seeking to stay in their homes and choose not to live in a senior or nursing home.  With their kids looking after them, Merrick Surgical Supply offers help and guidance in providing these lifestyle options that can be employed to address this need.

Leo Levine, owner of Merrick Surgical with his wife Andra, have recognized this shift in the changing population and positioned themselves effectively to cater to this demand.  “Mobility” he states, “is one of the most important issues for the seniors to maintain staying in their homes”.  He further describes the  state of affairs of the limited and shrinking access to insurance as another major adjustment to his clientele. 

“Most of our clients are the “Tweeners” that have been entrusted to care for their senior loved ones and do not really shop by price, but rather by functionality of the products that can enhance their parents lives in their sunset years.  Many of these Tweeners have viable careers along with financial responsibility of their parents’ nest eggs and have opted to ensure that their lives will be as viable and productive as is humanly possible. 

Merrick sees alot of demand for their lift chairs, rolling walkers, motorized scooters, and outdoor ramping systems.  All of these offer greater mobility and a means for the seniors to stay in their homes that come with fond memories.  As senior advocates, Merrick provides their children with consultative services at all times to better guide them in their choices that they are making which are major decisions rife with emotional and pragmatic ties. 

The emphasis for Merrick in their Nassau County communities has been custom service and a care and attention to their clientele that they really get to know.  Clearly the major pharmaceutical chains are ubiquitous in their presence but can hardly compete with this approach to custom service and attention.
