(Newswire.net — January 26, 2014) Merrick, NY —
As the Baby Boomers have aged and become seniors themselves with parents that are in their seventies, eighties, and nineties, affordable medical care has become a priority. Here, we are not referring to healthcare but rather access to medical supplies that can enhance comfort and health with supplies that can cater to the needs of people that need assistance in walking, sleeping, bathroom needs, and even just rising out of a chair.
Merrick Surgical Supply, in Merrick, NY, are Baby Boomers themselves who understand this growing demand for their products. They realized that a business as important as they have needs to be a storefront where people find comfort in being able to drive there and see and touch the products while being able to talk to a reliable person as well.
Without being a “chain” like Walgreens or CVS that have become ubiquitous throughout our American landscape, Merrick Surgical is the “old fashioned” approach to an industry where service, knowledge, and community dedication is paramount and people recognize this. Elders want the custom care rather than the convenience store shelves that they must shop aimlessly along searching without help for products that they are given no guidance with.
Perhaps this industry can be analogous to retail banking and the way that big super banks opened up branches after branches only to gobble up every depositor they could find like a vacuum cleaner. Service became an ATM face rather than that local banker that knew the clients and their families inside and out. The problem being that size and growth mushroomed into the insatiable demand for profits and avenues such as derivatives that blew up in 2008.
Are our Walgreens and CVS stores going to blow up as well? Well not exactly, however the analogy bespeaks that size is not better and the custom service that is the human element that most large businesses today are missing, is what Merrick Surgical has brought back. Curbside attention from their door front to help customers get in and out of their car, deliveries, and the house call idea to help assemble and use the products are all a part of their service that is unheard of today.
Aging is something that we all just live with but the quality of our aging lives can be pleasant or a drudgery. Those conveniences that make those remaining years of our lives what they are are what we seek. The fast paced need to be in and out do not apply to every industry and need that we have as we progress.
