We are proud of our recent expansion of home health care products at Taos Pharmacy. Our new home health care department stocks Taos' largest selection of a number of personal and home health products.

Many foot, ankle, knee, hip and back problems can be caused by poor foot support. We carry a full line of Spenco insoles and arch supports. These are the highest quality insoles available. We have insoles for a variety of uses from everyday use in work shoes to high-impact use in hiking or training shoes.

Leg cramps, burning and tingling feet can be signs of poor foot circulation especially if you spend much of your day standing or sitting. We have a great selection of support and compression stockings and hosiery. Compression stockings are designed to improve foot and leg circulation to prevent cramping and more serious complications from poor circulation. We carry anti-embolism hosiery to prevent blood clot formation associated with prolonged bed rest or limited movement.

We carry Taos' largest selection of braces and supports for back, wrist, elbow, knee, ankle and many others. We have a support for almost any injury. We carry a number of different manufacturer's products so we can meet most any need. We also carry a large selection of exercise balls, bands, tubing and other products to help with your physical rehabilitation after an injury.

Falls are a leading cause of serious injury in the home. We have a full line of bathroom safety products to prevent slips and falls. Grab bars, shower and transfer benches, hand-held shower heads, and raised toilet seats can improve bathroom safety, especially important for the elderly or those recovering from injury or surgery.

Home medical care is becoming more common as patients are sent home "quicker and sicker" to reduce the cost from hospital stays. We have a complete line of bed rails, bedside commodes, bed liners, bed wedges, and other sickroom supplies to make the job of caring for the sick at home easier. We also have a selection of blood pressure monitors, oximeters, nebulizers and supplies, blood glucose meters and other supplies to monitor many health measures.

Getting around can be difficult for the elderly or after serious surgery. We have a variety of ambulatory aids including canes, crutches, walkers and lift chairs. We also carry accessories and supplies such as cane tips, crutch pads and walker gliders.

Our staff is even more impressive than our great product selection. Our department manager, Mark Abeyta, and clerk Dolores Pacheco are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. They will listen to your problem and help you solve it. If we do not have the specific product you have in mind, they can offer comparable alternatives or, many times, acquire the product you want quickly. Our pharmacists are available for consultations and recommendations. Please visit our new home health care department, Home Health Plus, located in suite D of Piñon Plaza three doors down from Taos Pharmacy. We are sure you will be impressed by our products and our people.
