a loan program for people of Saskatchewan a recycle program – equipment is provided to clients from an
available pool of recycled equipment designed to meet the long-term needs of the client when
equipment is required for more than three months administered from five SNE depots located throughout the
province This manual has been prepared by the SaskAbilities to provide general program information. For a complete list of SAIL programs and policies please refer to their website at http://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/health/accessing-health-care-services/health-services-for-people-with-disabilities/sail.

SAIL ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS - RESTRICTED LOAN EQUIPMENT Recipients of the Supplementary Health Program (SHP), Saskatchewan Income Plan (SIP), or the Family Health Benefits program (FHB) may be eligible for the loan of additional low-cost devices at no charge. The SAIL general eligibility requirements listed above must also be met. For clarification of SHP, SIP, or FHB coverage, contact the Ministry of Health at (306) 787-7121.
All clients meeting SAIL general eligibility requirements listed above qualify to loan mobility equipment (walkers, wheelchairs
with a cushion).
Individuals residing in personal care homes, special care homes, and group homes are not eligible for environmental equipment
(hospital beds, commodes, etc.) only mobility equipment.
Patients in an acute care facility are not eligible for SAIL benefits except as part of a definitive discharge plan.
ACCESSING THE LOAN All equipment loans require a requisition to be signed by the appropriate requisitioning authority. Each piece of equipment in the manual has the approved requisitioning authority listed. Refer to the Appendix for a complete listing of program equipment and eligible requisitioners. Requisitions may be obtained by calling the local SNE depot or by emailing [email protected]. Refer to the Appendix for printable (Adobe PDF) requisition and application forms.
Special Needs Equipment Requisition Special Needs Equipment Wheelchair Requisition
Requisitioners must be registered in the SNE database. Call your local SNE depot to confirm or have your name added to the requisitioning list. All requisitions must be complete and legible or they may be returned to the requisitioner and cause delays in equipment delivery for the client. Please note the following when completing SNE requisitions:
A shipping (street) address is required if the equipment is to be delivered. Deliveries cannot be made to a PO Box.
If the equipment is required to facilitate a discharge from an acute care facility, please include the discharge date to enable
4
prioritization of requests. Replacement wheelchair requests for clients who already have a wheelchair issued to them will not be prioritized to facilitate a discharge.
Include relevant equipment sizing information (i.e. client wrist height for walker, desired seat-to-floor height for a wheelchair, cushion size, ceiling height for Sask-A-Poles, etc.) for all requests.
Provide an explanation if similar equipment has been issued to the client previously. If equipment issued previously has not been returned and an explanation is not provided, the equipment will NOT be replaced.
The weight capacity varies for all equipment types. Provide the client’s weight to ensure that appropriate equipment is issued.
Attach any additional application forms when ordering cushions, specialized wheelchairs, or hospital beds.
Please ensure that equipment needs have been discussed with the client before equipment is requisitioned. Equipment is often shipped back unopened and refused by the client resulting in unnecessary costs for the program. Frequently equipment is added on to requisitions in different handwriting or different pen colour. Please be advised that Special Needs Equipment will not provide this equipment unless it can be confirmed that the authorized signee has requisitioned and approved the safe use of the equipment. Models of equipment described within this manual are the current products purchased by the program. Alternate models may be substituted for models described dependent on availability.
Requisitions can be submitted to any SNE depot by mail, fax or dropped off in person. Please confirm with the local depot that the fax has been received and is legible. To avoid duplication of orders please do NOT mail the form to the depot if it has been
previously faxed.
EQUIPMENT PICK-UP Clients wishing to pick up their equipment can do so at any SNE depot. Hours of operation are 8:30 to 4:30 Monday to Friday. Depots are closed on statutory holidays. Equipment does not have to be picked up by the client requiring the equipment. Family members or friends can pick it up on their behalf. A completed requisition must be presented in order for the equipment to be released.
5
DELIVERY In stock equipment to be delivered to the client is generally shipped within two weeks of the receipt of the completed requisition. Custom orders will be delayed. Clients living in an urban center that has a SNE depot are responsible for picking up their equipment. If they are unable to do so, delivery costs are charged to the client. SNE will cover the charges for equipment that is shipped to locations that do not have a SNE depot. Equipment is shipped by the least costly and most direct method. For larger items such as hospital beds, delivery companies will require assistance from the receiver to help with the unloading of the bed. INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT The SNE program does not install equipment. Installation of equipment is the client’s responsibility, including any costs involved. EQUIPMENT REPAIRS Trained technicians at each SNE depot will repair loaned equipment at no cost to the client. Appointments are required to ensure that a technician is available to perform the service. The client’s personal health services number is also required to book an appointment. If equipment cannot be repaired, SNE technicians will provide a replacement piece of equipment. Exact model replacements cannot be guaranteed due to product availability. SNE will cost-share the shipping of equipment coming in for repairs for clients living in a center that has a SNE depot. Clients and SNE will each pay for one-way transport. SNE will cover the costs of shipping both to and from the SNE depot for people living in communities that do not have a depot. If equipment is being sent in for repair, please ensure that a note is securely attached to the equipment. The note should include the following information:
Full name, address and telephone number, and health services card number of client that the equipment has been loaned to.
A complete description of the repair that is required. Equipment returned to a SNE depot without this information may be received into stock and re-issued to another client.
6
Maintenance and repair of privately-owned equipment is not a SAIL benefit. EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT Equipment will be replaced for a client if:
1) The needs of the client have significantly changed making the existing equipment inappropriate (ex. weight gain/loss affecting wheelchair size, etc.) OR
2) The equipment requires extensive repair where SNE technicians have deemed it unrepairable (due to parts availability, cost to repair, etc.). Clients and/or therapists can request an assessment of the equipment be performed however, only SNE technicians will make the decision on whether the equipment requires replacement.
EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP The Special Needs Equipment program retains ownership of all equipment loaned to beneficiaries for their use. Such equipment must be returned to Special Needs Equipment when a beneficiary:
has equipment replaced; is deceased or no longer requires the equipment; moves out of Saskatchewan; becomes otherwise ineligible for the benefit.
CLIENTS MOVING OUT OF PROVINCE Equipment such as wheelchairs may be taken to the new province of residency and used during an interim period (approximately 3 months) until coverage is available in the new province. We ask the client or therapist to contact the Special Needs Equipment Manager to obtain necessary approval and discuss equipment alternatives prior to the move. EQUIPMENT RETURN When equipment is no longer being used by the client, it must be returned as soon as possible to the nearest SNE depot. SNE will accept shipping charges for equipment that is being returned if the client does not live in a city that has a depot. Please contact the nearest SNE depot for courier/transport company referrals for your location. It is the responsibility of the client to make the necessary arrangements for pickup of the equipment. Please do not return equipment to SNE that is not part of the loan program. All equipment issued is identified by a SaskAbilities return sticker and identification number.
7
Clients/caregivers may contact any SNE depot for a list of equipment currently on loan. The client’s health services card number will be required to access this information. MAINTENANCE Some items on the SNE program benefit list (i.e. bathtub lifts and hydraulic patient lifts) require regular scheduled preventative maintenance. Clients with equipment on loan will be contacted by letter when the equipment maintenance is due. Upon confirmation with the client, the nearest SNE depot will replace the client’s equipment with newly-serviced equipment, and the old equipment will be returned to the SNE depot. SNE will cover the costs of shipping associated with this maintenance program. Clients should inspect all loaned equipment on a regular basis and should concerns arise, contact a SNE depot immediately. EQUIPMENT IDENTIFICATION All loaned equipment is identified by a 6-digit unique identification number. This number is the code used to track who the equipment has been provided to and it is not to be removed from the equipment. If equipment does not have this number, and you believe that it is a loaned item, please contact the nearest SNE depot. Please do not affix labels/stickers or write on equipment with marker to identify which client the equipment is on loan to. Should name identification be required, please use a hospital band, luggage tag or similar to label. TRANSFERRING EQUIPMENT BETWEEN CLIENTS Equipment must be returned to the nearest SNE depot when it requires maintenance, cleaning and safety inspections before being reissued, or if it is no longer required by the client. Please do not transfer equipment without the approval of the SNE program. PRIVATE EQUIPMENT PURCHASE Private purchases of equipment, within or outside of Saskatchewan, are not reimbursable by Special Needs Equipment or SAIL. EQUIPMENT UPGRADES Equipment will not be ordered with features that are not a benefit of the program (i.e. seats on walkers, environmental controls on wheelchairs or an elevated seat in a wheelchair). Clients cannot pay the difference in cost to have an additional feature added to a loan item.

WHEELCHAIR POLICIES April 1, 2019
GENERAL POLICIES
Clients are eligible for ONE manual wheelchair through the Special Needs Equipment program. If a replacement wheelchair is requested, once it has been received by the client, the original chair must be returned to the program.
Wheelchairs will be replaced in two scenarios: if there has been a significant change in needs of the client where the equipment is no longer appropriate or, if the wheelchair requires repair and parts are unavailable or it is no longer economical to repair.
A requisition form signed by an authorized requisitioner is required for Special Needs Equipment technicians to make seating adaptations to wheelchairs (size changes, seat-to-floor height changes, etc.)
Clients may contact the Special Needs Equipment program directly to make minor wheelchair repairs (such as replace arm pads, brakes, etc.)
If equipment is custom ordered for the client (i.e. bariatric sized wheelchairs) it will not be re-ordered due to incorrect measurements being provided. Please measure carefully!
GENERAL POLICIES – POWER WHEELCHAIR CLIENTS
Clients are eligible for ONE power or power tilt-in-space wheelchair through the Special Needs Equipment program.
Clients using a power or power tilt-in-space wheelchair are eligible to receive a standard manual wheelchair as a back-up to their power mobility. Lightweight or ultralight wheelchairs will not generally be authorized as back-up to a power wheelchair.
SASKATCHEWAN AIDS TO INDEPENDENT LIVING (SAIL) TWO SPECIALIZED WHEELCHAIR POLICY Two specialized wheelchairs are available to clients under the following circumstances:
Clients with a tilt-in-space power wheelchair who require constant tilt and are engaged in the community on a regular basis may request a tilt-in-space manual wheelchair as a back-up.
Clients will be allowed to keep an ultralight manual wheelchair when transitioning to a power wheelchair if they have a degenerative condition. (The transition must be unplanned.)
14
When the ultralight requires replacement, a standard wheelchair will be issued.
Applications for a second specialized wheelchair must include a letter justifying how the client meets the above criteria and should be sent to the Special Needs Equipment Manager. ULTRALIGHT GRANT IN LIEU OF EQUIPMENT LOAN Effective April 1, 2019, the Ministry will launch the trial of a $2,500 grant-in-lieu option for ultralight wheelchairs through the Special Needs Equipment Program at SaskAbilities. The trial is expected to take place for up to two years and will provide the information needed to confirm the feasibility and impact of adding a grant option to the SNE Program. ADAPTIVE SEATING FOR ALL WHEELCHAIR TYPES Adaptive seating refers to modular or custom adaptations/modifications to a wheelchair. Examples would include headrests, bolsters, trays, drop seats, backrests or other supportive devices. Licensed occupational and physical therapists as well as specialists such as orthopaedic surgeons and physiatrists have requisitioning authority for adaptive seating components. Saskatoon A standard prosthetic and orthotic requisition form should be completed for all adaptive seating and forwarded to SaskAbilities at 2310 Louise Avenue, Saskatoon SK, S7J2C7. In Saskatoon, clients may be assessed at seating clinics at Saskatoon City Hospital, at the Alvin Buckwold Child Development Program located at the Kinsmen Children’s Centre or in conjunction with seating technicians at SaskAbilities. Contact SaskAbilities - Specialized Seating Department 306-385-7215 for more information. Regina Adult clients from Regina and southern Saskatchewan who require adaptive seating in their wheelchairs are assessed at weekly held seating clinics at Wascana Rehabilitation Center (WRC). A referral from a licensed healthcare practitioner is required for this service. Referrals can be faxed to (306) 766-5634. A team approach is used in the seating clinics and team members include a physical therapist, occupational therapist and seating
15
specialist. Examples of seating that is provided include supportive seats/backrests (custom or commercial), foam in place seats/backrests, head supports, foot supports, custom wheelchair trays and other inserts as required to support and comfortably seat clients. Contact WRC – Adult Program at (306) 766-5517 for more information. Therapists from acute care and the community may also access the WRC seating specialist by submitting a fully completed Prosthetic/Orthotics requisition. In addition to the P&O requisition, accurate client and/or wheelchair measurements must also be sent in order to construct the seating components. The requisitioning therapist may be required to attend consult/fitting appointments at WRC with the seating specialist for involved clients.

ELIGIBILITY Must meet general eligibility requirements
The following guidelines are intended to assist therapists with applications. Although clients should meet the following criteria, it is not absolute. Each client will be considered individually.
The client is wheelchair-dependent and their average daily use is at least 4 hours (adults) or 1-2 hours (children).
They meet one of the following two categories: They have poor trunk and/or head control, and require support
from the chair, or the client requires pressure relief that cannot be addressed
with cushioning. The following factors will also be considered:
The client cannot consistently perform independent transfers. Caregiver availability and safety may be an issue.
The client demonstrates altered muscle tone that impairs trunk balance.
There are orthopaedic considerations that interfere with upright seating.
There are transportation, community accessibility, pain, or fatigue issues that are addressed through the use of a tilt-in-space system.
29
The client has demonstrated benefit from the system through a trial.
REQUISITIONING AUTHORITY
Physiatrist Selection Committee for Specialized Seating Designated therapist working as part of the seating team at
Wascana Rehabilitation Centre SASKATOON Specialized seating refers to specialized manual wheelchairs (such as tilt in space) with custom or modular adaptations to provide a comfortable and supportive seating position for a client. Applications for specialized seating are completed by a licensed occupational therapist or physical therapist and are reviewed by the Selection Committee for Specialized Seating. The application form provides detailed information regarding orthopaedic/skin health considerations; critical details for fitting including height, weight, seating measurements; client and caregiver goals; identification of major seating concerns and therapist goals. A physiatrist serves as a member of the Selection Committee so requisitions are completed at the meeting as applications are approved. Specialized Seating clients may be assessed at seating clinics at Saskatoon City Hospital, at the Alvin Buckwold Child Development Program located at the Kinsmen Children’s Centre or in conjunction with seating technicians at SaskAbilities.

CUSHION POLICIES May 1, 2016
GENERAL POLICIES
Clients are eligible for ONE cushion with cover through the Special Needs Equipment program to use as an accessory to their wheelchair. If a replacement cushion is required, once it has been received by the client, the original cushion must be returned to the program. Note: An exception may be granted to the policy above
to allow clients who are at such high risk of skin breakdown and cannot be without the cushion for an extended period of time (i.e over the weekend while the SNE depots are closed). A letter of medical rationale and requisition form signed by a Physiatrist or Plastic Surgeon is required. These requests should be directed to the Special Needs Equipment Manager. The back-up cushion provided will be the same type/size of the originally issued cushion.
ONE cushion cover will be provided with the cushion. Clients who do not use a wheelchair for their primary mode
of mobility are eligible for the loan of one cushion if they meet all of the following criteria: the client has a current pressure ulcer, past history of a
pressure ulcer, or wound on the area of contact with the seating surface;
the client has a Letter of Medical Necessity which demonstrates a valid medical rationale for the provision of this cushion; and,
the client is eligible for coverage through the Supplementary Health Program, Seniors’ Income Plan, or Family Health Benefits Program.
Cushions will be supplied in the most appropriate size to fit the wheelchair used by the client.
Roho cushions will be repaired by SNE Technicians before replacement cushions are considered.
