On April 21, 2026, following a cordial exchange of emails, I received a quote for a certain mobility device from Living Well's owner. Over the following few weeks I attempted to find a way to help finance what is to me a rather costly purchase, and on July 14—within the validity period of the quote—I contacted the owner again and expressed my willingness to go ahead with the purchase. I received no reply. My second attempt of communication, ten days later, was ignored as well. I can only assume that the owner changed her mind about her offer. In my book, this is dishonorable business conduct.
Purchased and had installed in our garage a platform lift. also a five foot wide deck across the back wall of the garage for access from the house. excellent, friendly and timely service. the folks in the store are very helpful, too. we've rented a few items over the past ten years and always excellent service. thank you.

I decided to wait 1 month before I wrote a review to give you as much feedback as possible about my CPAP experience. Nichelle contacted me by telephone to arrange an in person meeting. When I showed up she was extremely nice. She went over the doctors notes, she showed me how to use the machine, she answered every question I asked and there were many and she then had a number of masks to try according to my doctors suggestion and her expertise. I took the equipment home and the first night was an improvement but after a few more nights my sleep was amazing. I wake up earlier, no longer have headaches, don’t nap during the day, and actually have trouble falling asleep because I’m so energetic during the day. Oh,ohhhhhh, my wife sleeps better now as well. No more snoring yay. I had a few machine issues come up but I think it was probably user error. I had trouble aligning the face mask nostril holes to mine for 4 weeks thinking I’d just have to learn how to make it work but after consulting with Nichelle I met up with her again and she found another mask to try. Having a 30 day trial period was very good for me. Nichelle is consistently a nice person. She’s so compassionate to your needs. She wants this to work for you in every way possible. I’ve never felt uncomfortable asking her for help and she does get back to you in a timely manner. Thank you Nichelle!!!!! Living Well, thank you for hiring Nichelle. Well done. Now give this lady a bonus on her pay.

Living Well Home Medical Equipment - Google Review
I have been a loyal customer at Living Well Home Medical Equipment since 2013. I had been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea the previous December, and while I was committed to using a CPAP machine, I was uncomfortable with the idea of not only wearing the nasal pillow mask, but also shopping for the equipment. Perhaps a little bit of silly pride was playing a part in this discomfort, but there was no denying I was always exhausted and not getting enough REM sleep. I needed to do this. When I walked into Living Well, I was greeted with a warm welcome and treated with courtesy and respect. The staff helped me find the equipment and supplies I needed and set me up for follow-up service appointments and cleanings. I have sat with a couple of CPAP Specialists over the years, who were very friendly, helpful, and courteous. Recently, I have been serviced by Nichelle Fife, Living Well’s CPAP Specialist. She has been on the ball with scheduling and contacting me when my supplies and equipment were due for replacement, and in line with my benefits coverage to ensure I had no out-of-pocket expenses. Last year, the display on my CPAPE machine indicated that the device had exceeded its lifecycle and was due for replacement. I contacted Living Well, and they directed me to reach out to the local sleep clinic to get an order for replacement. When I called, the sleep clinic stated that as long as it was still working, I could not get a new machine. Earlier this year, I spoke with Nichelle and told her that I had been restructured out of my career, my CPAP machine had exceeded its lifecycle, and my benefits were about to expire. I was concerned that shortly after my benefits expired, my CPAP machine would die and I would be out a lot of money to get a new one. I had an upcoming appointment at the sleep clinic, and she noted that 10+ years was a reasonable amount of time to replace my CPAP machine and recommended that I speak with the doctor and explain my situation. I did so at my appointment, and he agreed with Nichelle. The sleep clinic expedited the paperwork to Living Well, and Nichelle expedited the replacement order as they did not have my model in stock. In the meantime, the sleep clinic had asked Living Well to bring in my existing CPAP machine and adjust the air pressure until I received a new device. I made an appointment with Nichelle and met in her office to have the pressure adjusted and order my new machine. I was very impressed with not only her professionalism, but also with her pleasant personality and the genuine conversation we had during my appointment. I actually felt like I was chatting with a friend versus a customer being served by a stranger at a store. I was also anxious about getting a new machine in time before my benefits expired that upcoming weekend, and she assured me that they would get me the model I was looking for in time for benefit coverage. As a former hiring manager who has recruited quite a few people over the years, I know how challenging it can be to find the right person for the job. Sometimes, you have to look long and hard instead of settling for someone who is not the best fit. Far too often, I meet people working where I shop, and they are clearly unhappy doing what they are doing. They don’t try to hide it, and it comes across during the customer/business interaction/transaction. From my previous recruiting experience, I know a ‘good one’ when I see one, and Nichelle is one of those people. She brings something special to her job that not many do … herself. I hope the owners/managers of Living Well Home Medical Equipment see this, and do whatever they can to keep her on their team. You’ve got one of the ‘good ones’ and a good local business that I will continue to support in the years to come. Thank you for the great service and care!

Living Well HME has "One of the Good Ones"
I have been going to Living Well Home Medical Equipment since 2016. I have always felt welcomed and treated well by their staff. I would like to give a shout-out to a particular staff member, Nichelle Fife, CPAP Specialist, who has been very attentive to my equipment and replacement supply needs. She is sure to contact me throughout the year, when it's time to consider replacing my nasal pillows and tubing, water reservoir, filters, etc. She is very patient and personable, and shows a genuine sense of care to her customers/clients. While I have had a few different CPAP Specialists help me over the years, all of which were very good, Nichelle is a cut above the rest. As a former hiring manager, I know first-hand that it can be tough to find good employees these days. So, I hope the owners and management recognize they've got "one of the good ones" on their team. Thank you Living Well HME. Thank you, Nichelle.
With gratitude,

I needed a hoyer lift for a family member with very little notice. I called so many companies and couldn't find anything. Heidi from Peterborough and Gerry in Bowmanville, figured out a way to have a lift at my family member's home the next day. Ben and Adam delivered the lift and showed us how to use it. They were patient and knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend Living Well Home Medical Equipment to anyone that needs this type of support. They made our life so much easier at a very difficult time and we are so grateful.

We have been CPAP customers of Living Well for years. The attention to personal service and mask fit is outstanding. Recently my husband and looked at and decided to purchase cpap Air Minis to make traveling easier. They were amazing... so light, portable and fit in our carry on bags. Comfortable and easy to use. We were away for 3 weeks, the convenience of not thinking about finding or carrying distilled water made traveling so much easier. Thank you Living Well!

We truly appreciate your loyalty over the years, and we look forward to seeing you again and hearing about your next adventure!
Awful experience. I went there in 2020 and got a trial machine and when it was time to return it, the staff didnt inform me of ADP (the provincial government funded program) to pay for the machine. Fast forward to 2025, they are the RUDUEST people I have ever dealt with telling me I had to pay out of pocket for things not needed for my trial. The manager called me and gave me a bunch of excuses before coming out and saying they dont want me as a client. Ha, get real. Unknowledgeable at best. Unbelievable. 0 stars.

As a Seniors REALTOR and downsizing specialist, I often work with clients who have mobility challenges, and I’ve been very impressed with Living Well. They offer a wide range of products and services, and I’ve seen firsthand how much people in the community rely on them. Every time I’ve visited, there have been others picking up equipment or getting the support they need.
Every interaction I’ve had has exceeded expectations. The team in Cobourg is knowledgeable, compassionate, and exceptionally patient.
I highly recommend Living Well to anyone looking for high-quality mobility support and care.

Exceptional Service When I Needed It Most!
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found this incredible home medical equipment company! I was in a bit of a panic situation, desperately needing a piece of medical equipment that would make a huge difference in my daily life, and the manager (Jeff) went above and beyond to assist me every step of the way. In a world where it’s easy to feel like just another number or transaction, Living well stands out for its warmth, professionalism, and commitment to meeting the unique needs of their clients. I’m so grateful for their assistance, and I strongly recommend going to them to assist you with anything you might need.

I was given 3 choices on where to go for a CPAP machine. I liked the name "Living Well" so chose this as the place to go. Well I am extremely happy I did. Jeff was absolutely amazing. He saw I was in great pain with my knee and before even starting my actual CPAP info and selection process he gave me a knee brace to use during my appointment. It helped me so much and I was able to focus on the task at hand which was the selection of a mask and directions on how to use my new machine. Jeff was extremely kind, knowledgeable, patient and very personable. He took the time to explain each mask as I tried various ones he thought may work for me. He set the machine up, showed me how to use it, clean it etc. I was made to feel very welcomed as a customer and I was so impressed with my entire appointment I went back the next week and purchased the knee brace he so kindly lent me during my appointment, and in fact I purchased 2. If a kind friendly welcoming experience is what you're looking for when shopping for your medical equipment then this is the place to go. Shop here and you will be Living Well!!!
