In my experience, Wrightway has an amazing staff that provides excellent service and care to each and every client. They are dedicated, reliable, and professional. I highly recommend them.

Living independently in Jacksonville means knowing that help is available when you need it—and that the physical barriers of daily life at home are as manageable as possible. For a senior living alone in a Mandarin home who fell last year and didn't have a way to call for help, a veteran at home in Arlington managing a condition that affects balance, or a family in Ponte Vedra whose parent insists on staying in their own home but struggles with heavy doors and the fear of another medical episode—smart home safety upgrades provide the practical technology that makes independent living genuinely safer. Wrightway Medical's C.E.A.C. certified team designs and installs medical alert systems and automatic door openers throughout Duval County, extending independence by handling tasks that have become difficult and providing immediate access to help when emergencies happen. We've been doing this work across Northeast Florida for over 30 years.

Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States—a sprawling, consolidated city-county with a population approaching 1 million across Duval County. The healthcare infrastructure here is substantial: UF Health Jacksonville, Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville, HCA Florida Memorial Hospital, Mayo Clinic Florida, Ascension St. Vincent’s Riverside and Southside, Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital, and Naval Hospital Jacksonville all serve a population spread across historic riverside neighborhoods, fast-growing Southside communities, the beaches, and the rural edges of the county. Patients discharge from these facilities regularly into homes where they will be alone for stretches of the day—or where a single caregiver is managing care across a full household. Smart home safety technology closes the gap between those moments when something goes wrong and when help actually arrives.
As an ACHC-accredited provider with C.E.A.C. certified professionals, Wrightway Medical designs and installs smart home safety upgrades throughout Duval County and the greater Jacksonville area. We work directly with Medicare, Medicaid, and Florida’s waiver programs—including iBudget, CDC+, and SMMC-LTC—and handle all assessment documentation and insurance coordination so families and support coordinators aren’t managing that process separately. We service every installation throughout its lifetime.

We deliver and service a complete range of home medical equipment throughout the Jacksonville Smart Home Safety Upgrades area:
A medical alert system means that a fall in a Riverside bungalow, a cardiac episode in a Baymeadows condo, or a sudden health change in a Northside home doesn’t turn into a hours-long wait for someone to notice something is wrong. These systems let individuals summon help immediately—even when they can’t reach a phone, can’t speak clearly, or don’t know exactly what is happening but know they need assistance.
Modern medical alert systems come as pendants or wristbands worn throughout the day, with two-way voice communication through a base unit that allows direct conversation with monitoring center operators. Automatic fall detection triggers alerts even without the individual pressing a button—the device recognizes the motion signature of a fall and initiates a call for help automatically. GPS location services protect individuals whether they are at home in San Marco or out in the community at a Southside shopping center or a Mandarin park, providing monitoring center operators with the individual’s precise location when they need to dispatch assistance. These systems connect to 24/7 monitoring centers staffed by trained professionals who assess each situation and dispatch the appropriate response—contacting designated family members, reaching out to the individual’s physician, or sending emergency services depending on what the situation calls for.

Managing a heavy exterior door while controlling a power wheelchair, maneuvering a walker, or carrying anything at all is one of the most consistently frustrating and physically risky moments of daily life for individuals with mobility limitations. An exterior door that requires two hands to open and hold while simultaneously moving mobility equipment through the opening is not just inconvenient—it creates a fall risk and a real barrier to coming and going independently.
Automatic door openers eliminate this barrier entirely. Activated by wall-mounted buttons, wireless remotes, or motion sensors, automatic openers power entry doors, interior doors, and sliding glass doors open and hold them long enough for the individual to pass through safely—completely hands-free if needed. Systems can be installed on front entry doors, back doors, garage entries, and interior doors throughout the home, opening access to every room and outdoor space without requiring physical manipulation of door hardware. We are certified installers for Autoslide and Open Sesame, and we install systems on standard hinged doors, sliding doors, and heavy exterior doors throughout Jacksonville homes. Our team assesses each entry point, recommends the right opener type and activation method for the individual’s specific equipment and abilities, and completes the full installation with thorough training.

Designing the right bathroom modification plan for a Jacksonville home requires evaluating the specific space, the individual’s mobility and daily routine, caregiver involvement, and every available funding option—before any work begins.
Our C.E.A.C. certified professionals conduct Environmental Accessibility Assessments throughout Duval County, identifying current barriers, prioritizing the modifications that address the highest safety risks, and developing plans that align with what Medicare, Medicaid, or waiver programs will actually approve. For individuals on Florida Medicaid Waiver programs, we complete the EAA documentation required to support authorization and submit complete paperwork to minimize delays. Support coordinators at Jacksonville’s major hospital systems and care networks refer to us regularly because our assessments are thorough, our documentation is complete the first time, and our modifications are built to last in Florida’s climate and conditions. We visit homes throughout Duval County—from Ponte Vedra to the Northside, from Orange Park to the Beaches—and we understand the full range of Jacksonville housing our team works in every week.

We provide delivery and services throughout the Jacksonville Smart Home Safety Upgrades area including:
We install medical alert systems—including pendant and wristband devices with two-way voice communication, automatic fall detection, and GPS location services connected to 24/7 monitoring centers—and automatic door openers for entry doors, interior doors, and sliding glass doors. Automatic door openers are available with wall-mounted button, wireless remote, and motion sensor activation. We are certified installers for Autoslide and Open Sesame door opener systems.
Automatic fall detection uses sensors in the pendant or wristband device to recognize the motion signature of a fall and initiate a call to the monitoring center automatically—without the individual needing to press a button. This is particularly important for situations where a fall results in the individual being unable to press a button, losing consciousness, or being disoriented. The monitoring center then contacts the individual through the device’s two-way voice communication to assess the situation and dispatch the appropriate response.
Automatic door openers can be installed on standard hinged exterior and interior doors, sliding glass doors, and heavy entry doors. Systems can cover front entry doors, back doors, garage entries, and interior doors throughout the home. Activation options include wall-mounted push buttons, wireless handheld remotes, and motion sensors for completely hands-free operation. Our team assesses each door and recommends the right opener type and activation method based on the individual’s mobility equipment and physical abilities.
We work with Florida’s Medicaid Waiver programs—including iBudget, CDC+, and SMMC-LTC—and complete the Environmental Accessibility Assessments (EAA) required to document and support authorization for home modifications including automatic door openers. We also work with Area Agency on Aging plans and Children’s Medical Services. Our team handles all documentation and submits complete paperwork the first time to minimize authorization delays. If you are unsure what coverage applies to your situation, we will walk you through the available options.
