Universal Mobility Makes Southern California Vacations More Accessible
TUSTIN, CA, April 10, 2006. By 2016, all 78 million of the Baby Boomers in the U.S. will be 50 and over. But for the Boomer generation, turning 50 - or 60, for that matter - no longer portends limitations and the prospect of "slowing down." Americans 50 and older are likely to stay active for a long time to come, and with the majority of the nation's wealth, Boomers are continuing to travel well into their golden years.
Some of them are likely to need a little help getting around their vacation destinations. Enter Universal Mobility, a division of Universal Medical companies (http://www.uni-medical.com). The company rents a wide variety of scooters, wheelchairs, power chairs and lift chairs within the communities of San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles County. And that means mobility-challenged travelers can make worry-free vacation plans for southern California attractions this summer.
"Universal Mobility was specifically created for Disney Resorts and to service the entire community of Anaheim and surrounding areas," stated Wendie Mayers of Universal Medical. "We are the number-one vendor of choice for travelers in need of mobility options in southern California, and we are very proud of that."
Universal Mobility currently facilitates mobility equipment for Disney Resorts, Disney Hotel Affiliates, Knott's Berry Farm, LEGOLAND(tm), San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld(r) San Diego, the Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim/Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau, San Diego Convention Center, San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau, and hotel chains including Marriott, Hilton, Best Western and Westin. The company plans to introduce additional products and services this year; in partnership with several different solution providers, Universal Medical is increasing its focus on healthy lifestyle solutions for people of all ages. By the end of 2006, the company will expand into northern California.
"Universal Medical has over twelve years of combined medical sales and equipment rental experience. Our extended family has over 25 years of understanding and serving our customers' medical needs," said Mayers. "We take pride in continuing the legacy of providing experienced sales, rentals and services to the community."
