Introduction
The end of the fiscal year is approaching—a pivotal time for healthcare facilities and non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) providers to evaluate and finalize their capital purchases. If your organization is considering an investment that maximizes both patient care and financial leverage, Broda wheelchairs should be at the top of your list. These wheelchairs are not just an asset; they’re a vital tool for improving patient comfort and operational efficiency.
Key Benefits of Broda Wheelchairs
Enhanced Patient Comfort and Mobility
Broda wheelchairs are designed with the utmost attention to comfort, safety, and mobility. Ideal for long-term care and rehabilitation facilities (and many other care environments), they ensure a significant enhancement to patient care. Featuring the unique Comfort Tension Seating® by Broda, these wheelchairs reduce the risk of pressure injuries and promote proper positioning, directly leading to better health outcomes. When patients are comfortable and secure, their satisfaction and quality of life improve. High patient satisfaction reflects positively on your facility or service’s reputation.
Safety
Broda wheelchairs offer safe positioning features that not only prevent injuries to the wheelchair user, but also for the caregivers and facility staff. Because of the high levels of comfort, residents can tolerate being seated in a wheelchair for longer periods of time, reducing the need for frequent transfers. Fewer transfers translate to fewer injuries and accidents.
Many wheelchair models also facilitate easy lateral transfers with removable arm and shoulder supports. This provides a simple, no-lift way to assist a resident into their wheelchair with minimal risk of falls or injuries. Facilities with top-tier fall prevention programs rave about Broda’s many safety features.
Cost-Effective and Durable
Investing in Broda wheelchairs isn’t just about patient care; it’s also about wise financial planning. The durability and low maintenance of these wheelchairs make them a prudent, cost-effective capital investment. By reducing the need for frequent equipment updates and repairs, you can lower your facility’s overall cost of care. Patients enjoy increased mobility and satisfaction, decreasing the need for alternative equipment and further conserving resources. Additionally, the correct use of a Broda wheelchair reduces caregiver injuries and subsequent worker’s compensation claims. Many facilities and NEMT providers find that their Broda wheelchair pays for itself within the first year! With a 10-year warranty and a reputation for lasting much longer, the value is undeniable.
Affordable Patient Transportation Solution for Facilities
Many facilities have saved thousands of dollars per month by implementing Broda’s transport wheelchair solutions. Instead of hiring a third-party service when your residents need transportation, our WC19 certified wheelchairs allow you to easily provide your own ride service. Want to invest in a transport wheelchair that will fit almost anyone? Try the Traversa Transport Wheelchair. Looking for a solution for one specific patient?

A Game-Changer for NEMT Providers
If you operate an NEMT service, the Traversa Transport Wheelchair can help you take your business to the next level. The Traversa is more affordable than a stretcher and only requires one operator per trip. The reduced staff requirement will save you thousands each year! Additionally, the maintenance costs are much lower on the Traversa vs. a traditional gurney. It’s also infinitely more flexible. Passengers can choose to ride upright or reclined and are protected by Broda’s top-of-the-line, crash-tested design.
Financial Incentives for Year-End Purchases
Aside from the immediate care benefits and operational savings, making this purchase before the year’s close can offer you a financial edge. Here’s how:
Tax Benefits
- Section 179 Deduction: Businesses can deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment under Section 179, reducing taxable income for the year. This immediate deduction applies to capital equipment purchased and put into service by December 31.
- Bonus Depreciation: Currently, 100% bonus depreciation is available in the year of purchase, allowing you to write off the complete cost of the new asset in 2024. This reduces your taxable income for the year and improves cash flow.
Strategic Efficiency
Purchasing in 2024 secures your tax benefits immediately and helps circumvent potential changes in tax policy or depreciation rules in 2025. Additionally, taking this step aligns with strategic goals, whether you’re expanding capabilities, enhancing care quality, or increasing operational efficiency.
Steps to Maximize Your Purchase
- Assess Current Needs: Review your facility’s existing wheelchair inventory and patient care requirements. Identify gaps that Broda wheelchairs can fill.
- Consult with Experts: Consult with Broda specialists to select models that best suit your specific operational needs and patient demographics.
- Evaluate Financial Options: Consider your facility’s fiscal outlook. Opt for financing or purchasing routes that complement long-term financial strategies and ensure short-term tax benefits.
- Ensure Immediate Integration: Plan the logistics for incorporating the new wheelchairs into your daily routines and training staff to maximize their advantages.
