People whose lives have changed because of the NEAT Center at Oak Hill -

ERC demo

“There aren’t enough positive, uplifting, great words in the English language to describe my visit and purchase at NEAT. I am in the process of moving my elderly mom and I feel I struck gold finding your service. The staff from the ERC deserves extra kudos on their understanding, service and ability to understand my needs at this time.”

- Kathy Smith

Mobility aid

“Thanks very much to you and your staff in helping us to obtain the ‘Easy-Stand.’ My husband, Bill is now using it every other day. This is amazing as Bill never uses his braces to stand (it is much too difficult to balance/lift yourself up on braces). Due to the low insurance policy, coverage there was no way we could have paid for this therapy device. Thanks again.”

- Shelia Shea

“Thank you for all your help. This new lift should give me a much better, fuller, self-sufficient life. I will remember your kindness.
