Getting Moving Again — Without the Big
Commitment
Imagine this: your mom just had a hip replacement and needs help getting around
for the next eight weeks. Or perhaps you're visiting Toronto for the summer and
your knees aren't what they used to be. Maybe you're a caregiver trying to find the
right mobility solution for a parent — but you're not sure which device is the best fit.
In each of these situations, buying a rollator outright doesn't always make sense.
What you need is flexibility — a high-quality mobility aid you can use for as long as
you need it, and return when you're done.
That's exactly why rollator rental in Toronto has become one of the most
popular services we offer at DaviCare Medical Supply. Our rental program gives you
access to a premium Nexus 3 rollator by Human Care — one of the finest
walkers on the market — without the full purchase price. Weekly or monthly. No
hassle. No long-term commitment.
What Is a Rollator? (And How Is It Different
from a Walker?)
If you're new to mobility aids, the terminology can be confusing. Let's clear it up.
A standard walker is a basic frame with four legs that you lift and move forward
step by step. It provides excellent stability, but it has no wheels, no seat, and
requires you to stop and lift with each step.
A rollator is the modern, upgraded alternative. It has four wheels, hand brakes, a
built-in padded seat for resting, and usually a storage basket or bag. Rollators are
designed for people who can walk independently but need balance support,
endurance help, or a place to sit when they get tired.
Why do most active users prefer a rollator?
● Wheels mean smooth, continuous movement — no lifting required
● Hand brakes give you full control on slopes and uneven ground
● Built-in seat lets you rest anywhere, anytime
● Storage basket keeps essentials close — purse, water bottle, groceries
● Foldable design makes transport and storage easy
If you or your loved one can bear weight on both legs and just needs a confidence
boost while walking, a rollator is likely the right choice — and renting one lets you
find out for certain.
Why Rent a Rollator Instead of Buying One?
This is the question we hear most often. The answer depends on your situation —
and for many people, renting a rollator is the clearly better option. Here's why:
Factor Renting ✅ Buying
Cost Low upfront cost. Pay
only for the weeks or
months you need.
Full purchase price
upfront ($400–$700+ for
a quality rollator).
Ideal Duration Short-term: 2 weeks to 6
months (surgery
recovery, travel, trial
period).
Long-term daily use over
many years.
Try Before You Buy Test the exact model and
size before making a
decision. Rent first, buy
later if you love it.
You commit before
knowing if it's the right
fit.
Storage Return it when you're
done — no closet clutter.
You need space to store
it long-term.
Maintenance We handle all
maintenance and
sanitization.
You're responsible for
upkeep, brake
adjustments, and tire
wear.
Visitors & Travel Perfect for temporary
residents, snowbirds, or
family visiting Toronto.
Not practical for short
stays.
Post-Surgery Recovery Ideal for hip, knee, or
ankle recovery —
typically 4 to 12 weeks.
Expensive for a
temporary need.
💡 When Does Buying Make More Sense?
If you need a rollator for daily, ongoing use — such as for a chronic mobility
condition — purchasing is the better investment. DaviCare sells the Nexus 3 as
well, and ADP funding may cover up to 75% of the cost. Ask us about your
options!
The Nexus 3 by Human Care — Our Rental
Rollator
When it comes to mobility equipment rental in Toronto, we believe you deserve
the best — not a basic, wobbly walker. That's why DaviCare's rental program
features the Nexus 3 rollator by Human Care, a premium Swedish-designed
mobility aid trusted by healthcare professionals across Canada and worldwide.
The Nexus 3 by Human Care — ultralight, cross-fold, and built for real life.
Here's what makes the Nexus 3 stand out:
● Patented Cross-Fold Design — folds to just 10 inches wide. Fits
easily in any car trunk, closet, or beside a bed. No bulky, awkward
storage.
● Ultralight Frame — only 15 lbs. Easy to lift into a car, carry up a step,
or manoeuvre through tight spaces.
● Cable-Free Braking System — no cables to stretch, fray, or break.
Zero maintenance, always reliable.
● 330 lb Weight Capacity — strong, sturdy, and built to support a wide
range of users.
● Large 8-Inch Wheels — smooth rolling on all surfaces: hardwood,
carpet, sidewalks, gravel paths, and grass.
● Padded Flip-Up Seat & Backrest — sit down and rest comfortably
wherever you are.
● Under-Seat Storage Bag — carry personal items, groceries, or
medical supplies hands-free.
● Available in 3 Sizes — Small, Medium, and Large. We custom-fit
every client in store to ensure perfect posture and comfort.
● Available Colours — Black, Blue, and Red.
● Made by Human Care — a leading Swedish manufacturer with over
40 years of expertise in mobility solutions.
This isn't a discount-store walker. The Human Care rollator is the same model
recommended by physiotherapists and occupational therapists across Ontario. And
with our rental program, you get access to it at a fraction of the purchase price.

ADP Funding & Insurance Coverage
Navigating funding for mobility equipment can be overwhelming. At DaviCare, we're
here to help — every step of the way.
DaviCare is an ADP (Assistive Devices Program) Approved Vendor. The
Ontario ADP program may cover up to 75% of the cost of eligible mobility devices,
making a premium rollator far more affordable than you might expect.
Additional funding sources we work with:

guide you through the paperwork once you have it.
